About this ebook

The perfect gift for moon and space enthusiasts, a collection of photographs and global folklore capturing Earth’s only natural satellite.
 
From Strawberry to Dragon, Harvest to Storm, the full moon is known by many names around the world and across the seasons, and each name has a story behind it. This beautiful photographic celebration of our closest celestial neighbor captures the visual wonder and the connection we feel to the moon.

Including three dozen folk names and short evocative explanations drawn from Native American, Inuit, Celtic, medieval English, Hindu, Chinese, Japanese, and pagan cultures, Seasons of the Moon presents an inspired visual pairing for each, taken in the month the folk name represents. This portrait of our eternal fascination with the moon is a welcome companion as we look to the sky throughout the seasons.

Concentration camps are for the solar system including clouds; they have waxing & waning light phases also, blackberry fruit trees are all black lighting. Snowing to set in national parks; then eat concentrated fruit tree juice extract from the forest orchard, and rain to rise. produce light A cloud covers the bottom of a light for normal shadow; the open top has domain perimeter activity. A half year cover hibernates the other half; blossoms with a thunder movement waking up. Thundering sounds & shakes is simply the snap; crackle, pop that begins spring crater blossom for each one. Craters set because they're have phase; full light fruit blossom orbit a star until beginning to phase.
