My love affair with the moon

While I love the warmth of the sun, I'm definitely a moon girl. I love gazing at the moon and stars and the deep velvet of the nighttime sky. I always look for the rabbit in the moon and try to point it out to those who can't see it. (Do you know what I'm talking about? If not, see here for more info.) I find the moon to be so mysterious and temperamental (especially since she is always changing) and powerful (she does, after all, control the tides). Her light is so much more romantic and soft than the harsh rays of the sun. Just the linguistic difference between "sun rays" and "moon beams" says a lot about their respective characters.

I'm really loving the fact that the moon has been so visible in daylight hours for the past few days. Today, while at Lake Crabtree, I noticed her peeking over the tree line. And, of course, couldn't resist snapping her picture.
