Is it the gloriously shining full moon against the dark velvet night sky? Or is the halfway exposed moon? Or is the beautiful and elegant sliver of silver - the cresent moon? Or is it when she is completely hiding from us and leaves just a pale reminder of where is instead? Or any of the other faces in between?For me it's the crescent moon. Oh don't get me long I love gazing up at the full moon and admiring her beauty. But there is just something about the crescent moon that calls to me...

I think the moon is beautiful and majestic in all its faces or phases...except one. I do not like it when the moon is hiding...or the new moon. I love the moon and I draw from its beauty. But when I can not see it, it eludes me and I can not wait to see it in the beautiful night sky once again. I can lay in the grass for hours just talking and staring into the night sky. I used to lay on the hood of my dad's car growing up watching the night sky. My dad would park his car in just the right spot where I would get a wonderful view between the trees. Of course, I am sure he parked there so he would not get bird poop on his car from being under the trees. But hey, it was still a great place to lay and stare at the night sky. :)

That is a very beautiful memory! Thanks for sharing that. I love to lay under the stars and gaze up at them and the moon too. But working while they're out it makes it difficult. I'm with you on the new moon. I hate it during that time. Every night when I walk out to my car I search for the moon. When I see her I know that everything will be okay. I've noticed to over the last several years that if she's visible then it doesn't storm real bad that night. So that's a big comfort to me when I'm afraid it will.

All the phases are beautiful and serve their purpose, however, a full moon is my main deal. It lights up the landscape and makes getting a moontan a wish. The play of shadows and half light is awesome and you feel like dancing. Babies are born by the pull of the moon, energies are often highest at this time with crimes etc. I respect the full moon.

You do have a great point. I do love the full moon. I guess I like the look of the crescent because the shape is so...neat. - for lack of a better word...it's past my bedtime. LOL

I agree with you also. All of the phases are beautiful!! But, one tends to lean to one of the phases more. I love the full moon, but I also love the crescent. They are both very eye catching!! LOL

Hmmm....that is a hard question. I love the shining full moon that lights up the sky. When the moon is full and there is no clouds to be seen, I would love for there to be no bright street lights!! That would be great. Then my mom and I could watch the sky in peace and not squinting at the lights!! But, I also like the crescent moon. It is very beautiful and it has an interesting shape. I can never seem to draw one...the sky sure does though!! The moon is very beautiful and so are the stars! :D

I think all phases of the moon are lovely and each serve their own well meaning purpose. However, I think the full moon is lovely. I love how it lights up the night sky and makes everything seem so much more lovely than before.

Aw gosh, do I gotta pick? Lol. It's difficult to say really..I love them all, truly. If I had to pick a favorite -- though the full moon'll always have a special spot in my heart -- I guess the crescent would be my favorite. I don't know..just something fascinating about her in particular. Thinking just adds to it..knowin' a shadow's technically over most of the side of the moon which reflects light to us..since we're between it and the sun.. There's just something about it lol.

Your name intrigued me as my bf was reading the sports posts and I had to check out some of your discussions. Your page is beautiful, BTW ! Anyway, my favorite phase of the moon is exploding full meaning as full as it possibly can be that the velvet night sky illuminates for miles. It is also the time when my bf and I are usually totally in sync understanding the mere fact that as a 'lunar baby', (born three days after him but at 2:01 am in the fullest moon ever, I am extremely difficult with my dark side flaring in and between my fire (leo) and water (Cancer)signs that make or break a great relationship. Friends for life and the rest follows . . .

Thank you! That's really neat that the both of you were born at that phase of the moon. I honestly don't know what phase I was born at :( .
