Why? The moon is WAY behind the branches of the tree in this photo, so why don’t the branches show up as being in front of the moon?
I moved over a few steps to get a clear picture.
The sun has lent its warming glow
And moon reflects a brilliant show.
A golden globe that floats on high
Suspended in a magic sky.
Why don’t we go there for a while
And take our moon boots, go in style?
A bouncy moonwalk, we will do
Upon the moon rock, me and you.
And if we see the man in the moon
You’ll catch me if I start to swoon,
Then back to Earth it’s time to scuttle
Snuggled in our cozy shuttle.
Once again from Earth we’ll sigh
To see this marvel in the sky.
Golden warmth has filled our soul
I hold your hand and I feel whole.

Ours wasn’t that colour as it was shining through some hazy clouds. But it was quite mystical.

I know the moon is beautiful, but I sure wish it wouldn’t shine so bright while I’m trying to sleep. I was awake all night!

I know!! I remember once when I was a child, looking at the moon shining into my bedroom really brightly, and I thought about the moon and why people are called lunatics, and then I was afraid that if I kept looking at the moon, I might turn into a lunatic. LOL I think I was right!

I just came back with Bella from our nightly two-hour walk through the woods.
A beautiful, bright full moon showed us our way. We go rain or shine, sometimes in total darkness.
The more we are able to enjoy the full moon on a night like this 🙂 It´s 1:30 am now, time to start a good movie 🙂
Life is good 🙂

Well now you ruined it. I can’t post my pink moon photos because mine pales in comparison. Yours tops them all. Wow. That is worthy of framing. You should consider it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Geri. Isn’t it interesting how we look at the stars and the moon sometimes and wonder what’s WAY out there? I think we all do that from time to time.
