i saw the moon ... he kissed the sea
oh how i wish that he'd kissed me
i saw his light ... touch her face
he filled the evening with his grace
i saw the moon ... kiss the sea
why oh why won't he kiss me?
i saw the sun hide her face
the boats sailed home ... and slowed their pace
i saw the moon caress the sea
why oh why
won't the moon ... caress me?
i saw the moon
did the moon see me?

To The Moon Alice: August 2010
Moon Notes
Harvest Moon
August 25, 3:06am Sydney Time
... One of my long held dreams.. is to own my own home... a home overlooking the sea ... Lately I've come to realise that this imaginary home... this abode 'alla Ruby' must also face east... East to the rising moon... where she throws her silvery cast upon the salty waters. Of course to achieve this dream I may just need to win the lottery... but thankfully ... taking a stroll by moonlight ... and looking out to sea ... is still an experience that has no price tag ...
Thankfully ... I do live close enough to the sea ... to take a stroll when the moon is full.... I do live on the east coast where the sea meets the sand under a rising moon ... and thankfully... the moon has the ability to soothe my worries... enrich my heart and renew my spirit...I'm grateful that I was born with a love for La Luna .... and I am grateful that this evening ...
I Saw The Moon ...
Did the moon see me?
Giveaway Coming Soon
I hope the moon ... fills your world with love .. just as you do mine with all your kind comments and visits to Ruby land. For it is you guys that inspire me to continue chasing the moon and make my dreams a reality .. one being able to share my art with you ... I hope to have some exciting news soon... and very soon a giveaway from a talented blog friend who has been with me since the beginning of my journey.
So keep your eye on the moon and watch this space ...

Keeping my eye out, dear Julie...for the moon and for your giveaway. Thank you again for another moon sighting...when I return to Florida in a month I'll be able to better able to sight the moon for myself...but my camera won't be able to capture its face as beautifully as yours does...so keep the moon coming my way each month, Ruby...ever so delightful each time.
Oh, Julie, this is so wonderful.
One day we will live at the edge, you at your sea, me at mine.
My house will face east too :-))
The moon did see you, he kissed your cheek.
Even if you didn't feel it, he did.
Hugs to you, my dear moon chasing friend.
Beautiful post Julie. You have such a wonderful way about you. I just l-o-v-e your photos and.... you are pretty good at poetry as well. I did a '5 year plan' board which had a house by the sea, a specific car, and a girl in a great bikini. I pulled it out after 5 years when I was unpacking for my house by the sea. The car was also the same and even the same colour as the picture. Go figure!!!...
oh Julie, I love you! Your prose and photos are so wonderful, I envy your talent. God bless you Julie, the moon did see you and certainly "kissed" you.
Absolutely lovely words and images. The third one, of the sailboats is my favorite. Always glad to follow where you lead us - it's always an interesting journey. xoxo, stephanie
you have done it again! amazing images and poetry!! i know i have told you this before, you are lucky to live NEAR the water. to live ON the water would certainly be a dream. i long to see the sea...
Julie, as always you have touched my imagination and heart with your beautiful photos and words. I can't wait to see where your moon chasing journey takes you. To the moon Alice, indeed. Meredy xo.
p.s. my kids were all agog at the big orange moon sitting low in the sky tonight. Missy Moo said "Imagine what it's like in real life!" Too funny.
Super, Julie! Both images and text have a simple Victorian grace.
I love your moon posts, Julie, as the moon always causes me to stop and dream.
Wishing you a lovely week, dear friend!
Zuzu
Oh, Julie, I love your photos! There is some magic in there!!!!!!
Have a great day,
Big Hugs, Yvonne
I always love it when you post shots of the water. This is truly beautiful. I long to have a home near the sea as well. My taste has changed as I've gotten older. I used to picture the fancy house or upscale condo...now, I see myself in a cozy cottage. *Sigh* I need a lottery to win as well.
I love that last picture Julie, it's such a great and calm composition. I was admiring the full moon here last night, and listening to owls!!
Sharon
your poetry is as beautiful as your photography.
i will be praying that you find that cottage facing
the east to see your precious moon.
i get to see it rise over the mountain, when i
am in the mountains. my favorite place.
this is such a sweet place to visit.
Oh my goodness. So beautiful!
Teresa
Thank you, Julie. You know I was waiting for this, it was worth it...
ciao bella
Bathing in moonlight is one of my favorite pasttimes. You have captured that same dreamy feeling here. The moon exercises its pull on me, too. Afterall, our bodies are mostly water, right?
xo,
Anne
Mmmm, mmm. I share your siren's song of the moon and sea - thank you for sharing your beautiful words and amazing photography and for taking us to that dreamy place with you. I thoroughly enjoyed it, as did my soul.
xo Isa

Bss

Can I just add that I've read your poem over and over, and love it!!
I couldn't agree with you more. I have always wanted a place by the sea. What beauty, what serenity, oh how I wish I were there now!!
Your talents never end....now your a poet!!! I kept reading it thinking I was embarrassed that I'd never heard it before...well of course not YOU wrote it....WOW I can't even write a simple sentence..lol
I think the moon did see you and is smile down on you right now!!!

Thanks for comment on my blog........what a great moons !!.....what a pictures......love you blog !!! come back soon...happy day love Ria.....
As a Cancerian, I feel the moon really strongly. Thank you for those beautiful images. I used to live in a house where my bedroom faced east and I always slept with the blinds up so I could see the full moon. I hope you achieve your house dream.
Dear Julie,
Oh my gosh! So long time ago I visited you! And when I do I am always so pleased to read and see your fantastic posts! As this one! Oooh wonderful and romantic! Hmm I enjoyed it! I hope everything is fine with you and how is your new house! I read you live close to the sea! Must be wonderful!
A big hug!

Gobsmackingly, breathtakingly beautiful Julie. A-M xx
great photos again Julie. I can never get the moon right, no matter how hard i try..:o/
This is so romantic, Julie. I bet with spring on the way there, the moon looks even more enticing.
I love the harvest moon shots!!! it's a bit overcast - but we have the huge telescope out on the deck anyhow...just in case there's a break in the clouds
thanks for your well wishes dear Julie....it really means a lot
xo+blessings,
Anne Marie
p.s. i think you are right - maybe I should look for that daybed!
Julie, you absolutely have the most beautiful moon shots. Can you believe we missed the full moon here in Boston? We had a noreaster or rain storm and it was too cloudy. So disappointing!
So glad I can look at the moon through your lens. Love those ocean shots!
Love, love your poem! I love the beach too, and hope to be visiting there soon.
Teresa
When I win the lottery I will buy you your house by the sea!
...your creative talent is amazing!
:)
From the opposite side of the planet, I was just enthralled by the beauty of the full moon to-night.I have been sleeping outdoors many nights this summer and felt so at peace, falling asleep under the starry sky...your house by the sea may be a dream...you can always live your dream.
Dear Ruby
Just yesterday I was watching the moon too,It's beautiful in this summer days...we returned to home walking by the seaside ,I use do it as I live closed to the beach and walking nearby the sea in the night is a wonderful experience
I have loved your post about Lisantum ...They are a very dainty flowers
Your photographs...stunning!
Hugs
imagery is superb - sets your poetry off to perfection
Love watching the moon and it's brilliant light on the water
Alison
Most importantly...YOU saw the moon!!
I love your poem and your passion for the mysterious moon~! It sure is alluring no matter what the season. I fondly view it, when I walk at night. I am happy it is my guide~ Really lovely!
Nothing like the view over the water, it is like
quicksilver~xXx
Hola Julie, your images move me to a very relaxing state of mind and I thank you for this. In fact, all your images are amazingly beautiful!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment on my wedding anniversary.
muchos cariños,
maria cecilia
How did you manage this? Whenever I try to take pictures of the moon, they come out very disappointing, not lyrical and beautiful like yours...
Hi Julie darling....I needed to chanel a bit of adventurous, brave Ruby this week...so glad it is Saturday. Love the pics and the words. I used to sing I see the moon to son number two, so enchanting "I see the moon the moon sees me, high up above the big oak tree, please let the light that shines on me, shine on the one I love"....happy the moon was shining on you this week my friend and she obligingly let you snap and tweek her image, thank-you for always leaving me such lovely comments even when I am a bit slack in the return, Katherine xx Ps giveaway sounds very exciting and had a chuckle at the spinster...such a horrid word...why are single women old maids andvsingle men considered fancy free....another injustice lol.
I know the moon saw you! I know it did!! Oh Julie, we share the same dream of a house by the sea. Maybe we should share a lotto ticket too! I'm so sorry I haven't been around. I've been thinking of you lots and lots but have been too wrapped up in preparing for the start of the school year. Phew. It's nice to come home to your blog.
Hope you are well and still following your dreams. Your moon pictures make me homesick for Aussie...Not long to go now
Much love
stay with your dream... you are part way there.
awesome shots. i saw the moon the other night too and she was stunning.
~pooch xx
