Nebulous night sky
Harvest moon’s radiant light
Skying swirls in the paint.
As I was drifting off to sleep the other night, the brilliant light of the harvest moon was painting the sky with swirly clouds and swaying tall fir trees outside my bedroom window. I was mesmerized and just had to get up, go outside for a few minutes to look up at the sky.
Great shots!!! I saw the moon and had a long talk with her.

Thanks Marlene! I did too! I actually went outside to absorb the energy and peaceful quiet. It was such a beautiful night out there with the moon so bright! 🙋

The moon was hiding behind those trees. I love your shots but they have a eerie feel 🙂 I remember those nights I used to read ghost stories and witch hunt.

Despite the eerie feeling, it was actually quite peaceful and calm. But the bright moonlight made it difficult to believe that it was only about midnight.

Yes! It seemed really big here as well. I think it’s an optical illusion that makes the harvest moon appear so close and giant!

The moon has been amazing here too! A few nights back I took our youngest granddaughter out to see the BIG moon. Yesterday, during the daylight hours, she was over and asked “where’s the big moon?” Melted my heart…have a great week, Sabine!

Hi Trudy! I am well and hope the same of you! The moon was incredibly beautiful here last week. Did you have a great one in NYC too?

Yes, I did on last week on Saturday night. Although it didn’t come in as clearly as I would’ve liked on my camera.
