Mid Autumn Full Moon
This the resident osprey of our local wetland. The Chinese mid-autumn festival full moon was rising when I spotted him hanging around his usual spot. I thought of this poem from Li Bai and the festivities that I would have with my family if I were not thousands of miles away.
床前明月光
疑是地上霜
举头望明月
低头思故乡
(Bright moonlight before my bed; I suppose there is frost on the ground. I raise my head to view the bright moon, then lower it, thinking of my home village)
