Fernandina’s Fantastic Fudge is located in the Historic District. A sweet spot to be.

I enjoy using my older Canon EF lenses on my Canon EOS R mirrorless camera. Many EF lenses are an excellent value compared to their newer RF counterparts. Canon makes a simple adapter that adapts the EF lens to the RF mount.

At sea level, at 6 feet above the surface, you can see an object at about three miles away. With a 600mm lens, details come into focus.

Why the “Beaver” Moon? This is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient food stores for the long winter ahead. During the fur trade in North America, it was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts.
Moonrise over the Atlantic as seen from Amelia Island, Florida. November 5, 2025. When the moon is low on the horizon, it’s viewed through most of the atmosphere, which gives it a reddish color and reduces image clarity. When the moon is higher in the sky, its reflected light is more clearly seen, resulting in sharper images.
Behold the Full Beaver Supermoon!
November’s Full Beaver Moon orbits closer to Earth than any of the other Full Moons this year, making it one of the three Supermoons of 2025! At its nearest point, the Beaver Moon will be 221,817 miles (356,980 kilometers) from Earth… this is the closest Supermoon of the year!
Moonrise on November 4, 2025. 99% full.
My images are not AI-generated, and I do minimal post-processing. I used my Canon EOS R mirrorless digital camera (30.3 MP) and my Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM lens with a Canon EF Extender 2x III for an effective reach of 600mm.

A local surf fisherman was captured with my Canon EOS R, Canon EF 300mm f/4 IS USM lens, and Canon EF Extender III.
Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach.
Slightly cropped original JPEG.Original, no post-processing.Put it together for 600mm on a budget.
I can’t say enough about this combination. Since the Canon EOS R doesn’t have IBIS, it’s up to the lens and my slightly unsteady hand to keep 600mm images in focus. The lens was made in October 2010. Older EF lenses are a great value, but they are getting on in years. The EOS R is a full-frame 30.3 MP mirrorless camera.
