Local photographer Hugh Driscoll captured the Harvest Moon Sept. 8.

In a state where leaves barely change and the weather stays warm through Christmas, some residents look to the stars for a sign of fall.

The Harvest Moon, traditionally the sign of autumn, was the brightest and most visible Sept. 8. The Harvest Moon is also a supermoon, according to EarthSky, which means the moon turns full less than one day after reaching lunar perigee or the moon’s closest point to Earth for the month.

Local photographer Hugh Driscoll captured several photos of the Harvest Moon over Ormond Beach.
