The Moon and I

OMG! It's a full moon tonight, and it's a corker!

I was out this evening, and on my way there I had to stop at traffic lights half way down the long, straight road that leads into town. I looked up and saw just the tip of the moon above a mass of cloud. And as I sat there I watched it rise, like a hot-air balloon, out of the clouds, until I could see it in all it's glory! It was amazing. Just amazing. So big and bright and round!

I just love the moon. What's not to love???

As soon as I got home, I was out the front with my camera! The clouds were quite thick but once the moon broke through it was wonderful. I actually think the clouds add to the photos, give them some depth. Pity about the van parked at the gate though!!!

You can actually see how much brighter the moon is than the street lights! Quite an amazing thought when you consider how far away it is!

So today it's easy...I am grateful to have been stopped at traffic lights, and given the chance to see the moon reveal herself in all her amazing beauty. Dressed in light that she borrowed from her friend, the sun!

Like I said...what's not to love?

Gratefully yours.
