I love the moon. I really do. Sometimes I talk to him. He's the first thing I look for when I am outside. I love it when I see him during the daytime - bonus time with the moon is always great.

I think the moon is at it's best when it's surrounded by misty, drifting fog or clouds. It's so eery and romantic.

Camping is the best time to see the moon because you're lucky enough to get to sleep by the light of it. There are no street lamps or car lights fouling things up.

As a bonus (mostly for me) here is a clip from Disney's The Kid, One of my favorite Disney movies. They talk about the moon a few times in it and here is one of those scenes.
When do you like the moon best? Or do you like the moon at all?
Love the moon when it is nice and big and sky is clear. Also, love the song on It's a Wonderful Life, (And Dance by the light of the moon...)
ReplyDeleteMary looks at him provocatively, then turns and shuffles off down the street, singing as she goes.
George hurries after her.
MARY (singing): Buffalo Gals, can't you come out tonight . . .
George joins her in the singing as they proceed down the street.
MARY AND GEORGE (singing): . . . can't you come out tonight, can't you come out tonight. Buffalo Gals
can't you come out tonight and dance by the light of
the moon.
GEORGE: What'd you wish when you threw that rock?
CLOSE SHOT –– man on the porch of house, listening to George and Mary.
MEDIUM CLOSEUP –– George and Mary have stopped walking and now face one another.
MARY: Oh, no.
GEORGE: Come on, tell me.
MARY: If I told you it might not come true.
GEORGE: What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say . . .
LONG SHOT –– full moon shining through the trees.
I can't believe I forgot about that scene. It's perfect for this post! Thanks Theresa!
