Soothed by the golden trembling of evening light from where the drawn window drapes have parted at the hip in a tender breeze, scooping frozen pillows of raspberry ice cream from grandmother’s parfait glasses, perched precariously on the arm rest of the sofa, one naked foot grazing the berber rug of the darkened den.
Drinking in the philosophy of the sea, waves frothing through the esophagus, I am drunk on milk moonlight, dizzy with the bliss of intoxicating fresh air. Our ancestors gave names to the moon, forgotten. Flower Moon, for the month of May, Strawberry Moon in June, in January, Wolf Moon, Snow Moon for February. How beautiful is it, to crane your neck to the moon and call it by name? Old friend.
P.S. A list of full moon names and their meanings, for all months, can be found here.

I love your blog. Your words are so inspiring, transporting and utterly beautiful.
Thank you
Anna
Milk moon is my moon.
I love these!
i was born on the full moon in may (according to the lunar calendar, that's easier to track which phase of the moon you're born in). I am of flower moon and milk moon; this is so interesting. Thank you for your beautiful words and pictures! xx
Susanna, my friend has just returned from India, she travelled by herself and had a magical time. enjoy, beautiful
also, she said the site cleartrip.com was the only thing I needed to know if I ever went to india :) also that the north was beautiful, the rough guide to india was a good investment and that her womanly charms worked very well in that when she seemed lost and helpless, many would come up to her to help her how to get back to her hostel or where to eat.
bahh i love your blog! you always have the most beautiful pictures to go with beautiful words!
WOW do you take all of these photos? they are beyond beautiful. seriously they are stunning, they belong in magazines and on walls everywhere <3
Bec,
Oh, no, the photographs aren't mine. Please see the note at the end of each entry that says "Photos by ... " for the names of the photographers and links to their sites. The photos in this entry are by Elliot Michael Fairhurst, and yes, they're truly spectacular. I believe all the photographers I feature are definitely frame-on-your-wall worthy!
The writing on the other hand is my own.
Love the photography style, warm color, sunset, beach... Very nice blog!
