You See the Moon…

It’s full moon…I love full moon…love how full of promise it is…
Can you see the trees?
I went outside last night…because the moon was so beautiful shining amongst the trees…and clouds…it was soft…it was glowing…there was one star…shining just above…and to the side…I was mesmerized…I came inside…grabbed my camera…and photographed the magic…
Except…the resultant pictures…weren’t magic…gone were the tree branches…gone was the star…gone were the glowing clouds…all that was left was…a big bright orb…against a very dark background…
I was disappointed…I had wanted to share the magic with you today…Bertha says…that I have shared it with you…a different kind of picture…one that lets you see it through your trees…your clouds…with your star…above your yard…
And…I suppose she’s right…okay…of course she’s right…I only truly see things…when I see them through the lens of my own life…and…I know the same is true for you…
I hope you felt the promise…the hope…the magic…that I saw last night…as the moon was full…shining amongst the trees…and a wisp of clouds…with one star…just above…and to the side…

  1. Your imagery does let one see the moon and bring the picture to life. Bertha is right.

  2. The full moons have been AMAZING so far this year... like you, I try to capture their brilliance in photos - and I only get orbs also... ah well - I suppose luna doesn't like to be photographed like the rest of us ;) You described the scene perfectly... like I was right there with ya!
