“Let me take you down
'Cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever …”
~ “Strawberry Fields Forever”

~written by John Lennon & credited to
Lennon-McCartney
~ John Lennon based the song on his childhood memories of playing in the garden of Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army children’s home in Liverpool.
The Super Strawberry Moon “ripens” in a beautiful field in abstract, where nothing is real.
I created this image by blending my shot of the Super Strawberry Moon holding court in the sky over the West End of Allentown, Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley at 10:33 p.m. June 24, 2021, with background texture by Jai Johnson for artistic effect.
This Super Strawberry Moon is the last near-Supermoon of 2021. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the name “Strawberry Moon” originated with Algonquin tribes in eastern North America, who knew the June full moon as a signal to gather ripening fruit of wild strawberries.
This Super Strawberry Moon rose just before 9 p.m. in the Lehigh Valley, about a half-hour passed sunset. It is the first full moon of summer 2021.
