It's been a wet year. Recently water was discovered on the moon. Or maybe it was more water than previously suspected. In any case, there's water there.

Looking at the morning paper, I discovered that I missed the last full moon. It slipped right by me.
The moon isn't full, but my head is. It's the last day of the year, and I have a lot I want to get done before the new year begins. I wish everyone happiness and good health in 2011!
Last night I took a couple shots of Jupiter and the moon. The sky was partly clouded over, so I don't know whether Jupiter will show up in the photos. I'm not sure when I took the photo below.
Further along the Edge, Maybe October or November, 2010
We know about so many celestial bodies so much further away than the moon that you would think the moon would be nothing special at this point. But it still seems intangible. We see it over and over again and yet we never set foot on it.
The moon sits above the fence, and at the same time, beyond it. The fence is a dividing line in space, the dirt pile a dividing line in time. Sometimes one sees children playing in it--the dirt, I mean.
