Moon, 2008

Look… The moon is almost full again. This is the first time I have ever managed to catch some of the detail on the moon's surface in a photo. While we here in the West see a man in the moon, Japanese folklore claims there is a rabbit up there, pounding rice to make mochi. Rabbit in the moon, eh… Well that might explain my current fascination with things lunar: 

Rabbit Meets Hat… 

Rabbit Meets Moon… 

Rabbit Makes Mochi… 

Which reminds me ~ I haven't had daifuku in ages.

I suppose, in a kind of off-handed way, the moon thing explains my love of moving water as well.
