I'm already in the moon mood, Janice! I've been warming up my shutter finger the past two nights, because the moon has been rising right above the trees in front of the house, and painting spectacular silver freeways on the surface of the sea.
These,
on my blog, from two nights ago. If you take a look, they look best if you click on the images, and also make the page full screen.
The August blue moon is hugely special to me. One of the poems Les Murray recently accepted for Quadrant is called 'August Moon'. I wrote it in a splash of time after last August's true blue moon—when two full moons occur in one month—when I spent hours gazing so closely at its full face that it suddenly began to speak.
Moons in every quarter are my madness!!! I'll be out there tonight, camera in hand, clear skies beholden, moon-communing.
