DECEMBER 21 and welcome to winter everyone. On this 2009 solstice night the evening was calm and cool. Stars were glittering earlier, when I left work at 5 p.m., with the partial moon rising with a star (planet) at its tail.I had a hair appointment, and on the way home at 9 p.m. I saw the orange rind of the moon was resting almost on its side - no more balancing on its tippy-point.
Is the cup half full? Is it half empty? I wish I knew. All I know is there is something left and that's better than nothing - femminismo
p.s. Go here for more on the moon (blue moon this month) and the partial eclipse on the 31st.

Great photo, Jeanne! Welcome Winter and if She comes can Spring be far behind, as the poet asks every year around this time.
Half full is a blessing for some. Half empty, ditto.

Funny, I couldn't figure out why I had never thought of the moon as a boat before.
I didnt know it was a blue moon this month - happy solstice. Its hot and wet here, so i am wishing the perfect level of comfort for all..
