A gift

The moon

Nestled in the lilac velvet of a sunrise

Is a gift to be enjoyed greedily

Purple sky

As the rising sun

Casts its glorious rays

Lighting up leaves like torches

Autumn moon copy

And the moon – sinking rapidly —

Throws back the sunbeams

On the silken waters.

Moon wide shot

  1. I love the transition that occurs in the colors and brightness between the first shot with pre-sunrise dawn and moonlight to the very next shot once the sun peeks over the horizon. You’ve a lovely canvas to work with where you live. As always, outstanding shots, and thanks for sharing.

  2. WE just had a full moon recently. All that light at night makes it hard to sleep and even the pups are restless. Great photos… all of them!!

  3. Ahhh… October’s wonderful “Hunter’s Moon” – it looks so beautiful, Fi. This month’s full moon is no brighter than the other full moons in a calendar year, but it always seems so because of the position of the ecliptic in the sky in late autumn up here. You’ve really done it justice.

  4. Not only do you take the most gorgeous pictures, you find the words to go with them. I love sparse writing, but have not been able to get there myself. Since I have been away for a while, I went back and looked and read and loved it all.

  5. Canto della luna e del sole nello scorrere lento e vorticoso sul fiume della vita, queste foto sono Poesia

    Song of the Moon and Sun in the slow flowing and swirling on the river of life, these photographs are Poesia
