Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Friday, June 3, 2021 entitled Blood Monster Moon

The May 26 full flower moon image relabeled Blood Moon seems fitting for Halloween :-)

APOD Background
"Explanation: On May 26, the Full Flower Moon was caught in this single exposure as it emerged from Earth's shadow and morning twilight began to wash over the western sky. Posing close to the horizon near the end of totality, an eclipsed lunar disk is framed against bare oak trees at Pinnacles National Park in central California. The Earth's shadow isn't completely dark though. Faintly suffused with sunlight scattered by the atmosphere, the inner shadow gives the totally eclipsed moon a reddened appearance and the very dramatic popular moniker of a Blood Moon. Still, the monstrous visage of a gnarled tree in silhouette made this view of a total lunar eclipse even scarier.'

Since this mentions blood

The "spiny" tree branches give the scene an eerie look! Good morning, Maj William W. 'Bill' Price, and another great Moon APOD, my friend...
