Why dont I see it?

The Moon
A very bright newly waning Moon with a very bright Mars approaching it's best opposition until 2035 as seen out of my sunroom this AM. If they weren't being blocked by trees, I'd drag my butt up to the roof top deck to get a decent photo. I'll just sit here drinking my 2nd cup...

beautiful full moon ? this Halloween ?, it’s orange now , yet it’s called a BLUE MOON... cellie...
.
*The first full moon of this month fell on October 1-2, 2020. It was the Northern Hemisphere’s [Harvest Moon]('https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/harvest-moon-2'), or full moon nearest the September equinox. This month will have a second full moon, which – by popular decree – shall be called a Blue Moon. It’ll come on October 31, 2020, which is the night of Halloween. The moon will be blue in name only, but it’ll be near in the sky to a bright red “star” – not really a star at all – but the fiery planet Mars, still at its best now!

Very cool, the different colors the moon may be seen from Earth, variations due to our atmosphere.
Also, as seen in the explanation below, this month's full moon is called by some "The Beaver Moon". Didn't know dirt bags like me had a special name for it...
Explanation: What color is the Moon? It depends on the night. Outside of the Earth's atmosphere, the [dark Moon]('https://www.universetoday.com/19981/moon-albedo/'), which shines by reflected sunlight, appears a [magnificent]('https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap031109.html')ly brown-tinged gray. Viewed from inside the [Earth's atmosphere]('https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2919/earths-atmosphere-a-multi-layered-cake/'), though, the moon can appear quite different. The featured image highlights a collection of apparent colors of the full moon documented by one astrophotographer over 10 years from [different locations]('
') across [Italy]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy'). A [red or yellow]('http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/about-us/46-our-solar-system/the-moon/observing-the-moon/142-why-are-the-moon-and-sun-sometimes-orange-or-red-beginner') colored moon usually indicates a moon seen near the horizon. There, some of the [blue light has been scattered away]('https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/blue-sky/en/') by a long path through the [Earth's atmosphere]('https://scied.ucar.edu/shortcontent/earths-atmosphere'), sometimes laden with fine dust. A [blue-colored moon]('https://www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/astronomy/item/what-is-a-blue-moon-is-it-ever-really-blue/') is more rare and can indicate a moon seen through an atmosphere carrying larger dust particles. What created the purple moon is [unclear]('
') -- it may be a combination of several effects. The last image captures the [total lunar eclipse of 2018 July]('https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap190120.html') -- where the moon, [in Earth's shadow]('
'), appeared a [faint red]('https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/why-does-moon-look-red-lunar-eclipse.html') -- due to light [refracted]('https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/49-refraction-of-light') through [air]('https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140803.html') around the [Earth]('https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/earth/overview/'). The next full moon will occur at the end of this month ([moon-th]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_month')) and is known in some cultures as the [Beaver Moon]('https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-november').
