Cheshire Moon







A Cheshire Moon came to rest
Above the Smoky Hills tonight
He smiled a beguiling golden light;
And it was impossible not to smile back.


The Cheshire moon is also known as the wet moon in Hawaiian mythology, so says Wiki.


Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland was my first encounter with the Cheshire cat!


(I did not take the photograph, but I wish I would have!)

Cheshire moon! I love it! I saw that the other night at Walmart and I saw a guy taking a picture of it with his smart phone...I kinda wished I'd had my camera too!
