Seattle moon - harvest moon perhaps, I don't recall. Very difficult to photograph the moon because there is such a contrast between it and the surrounding night sky.


One of my favorite songs, Shine on Harvest Moon. My father used to indulge in what my mother referred to as "mindless whistling", he would aimlessly slide from one tune to another. I seem to recall this was one of them. Here's the lyrics in case you don't feel like listening to it - really, quite charming.


Oh, Shine on, shine on, harvest moon
Up in the sky;
I ain't had no lovin'
Since April, January, June or July.
Snow time ain't no time to stay
Outdoors and spoon;
So shine on, shine on, harvest moon,
For me and my gal.
