A paraselene is a bright spot, especially on a lunar halo. It's sometimes known as a mock or false moon. I'm not sure I entirely follow, but it's a nice word and maybe my friend Sheila will come along and explain it properly.The picture is of the actual moon, taken by Gary. He's one of the bright spots in my life.

He'll appreciate that you said that!
Great photo, Patsy (and Gary, of course!). I hadn't heard of the word 'paraselene' before. That's why I love your blog. Hope you're having a good time.
I should jolly well hope so, Alex!
We're having a fabulous time thanks, Jan.
What a lovely word! And what a gorgeous picture. I love the moon, it always cheers me up to see it :-) x
Ah. My wife said something nice about me once. I think she wanted me to wash her car.
;O)
I think one of my elementary teachers referred to me as paraselene, wish I would have know what it meant then. Ahh- maybe not, but it would have been nice if it would have happened. Thanks for the new word.
Not heard of paraselene before and neither has my smart phone as it's underscored in red. Not so smart hey? Lovely moon and excellent photography. Keep enjoying!
Well, I'll be darned!
That is a completely new word for me! Pretty pic.
So it's not 'parasailing' said while drunk? ;) Great photo and I hope Gary sees the nice things you say about him to the world at large.
I like the moon too. It looks kind of friendly.
The nice thing wasn't that you're not cynical, was it?
I'm sure you're teacher was thinking it, Neil.
Thanks, Maggie. Glad we're smarter than phones.
A new one for you, Oscar.
Ah good, Leandra.
I have been known to say nice things to his face on occasion. Well maybe two occasions.
I've not hear of this word either Patsy...another new one for my collection..thank you and Gary for the photo and sharing it with us...
Glad you liked it, Richard.
