A Week of Moons

Most glorious night!
Thou wert not sent for slumber!
~Lord Byron, Childe Harold

Was the moon stalking me or vice versa this week? I think it was a little of both.
He rose early, in time for my evening walk with the dogs.



He didn't call it a night until he told me good morning...


...and hung around even longer the next day.


But then he teased me, playing hide and seek with the clouds in the middle of the night...



...until finally rewarding my patience by breaking free.


Same time, next month?


O wild and wondrous midnight, 
There is a might in thee

To make the charmed body
Almost like spirit be,
And give it some faint glimpses
Of immortality.

~James Russell Lowell, Midnight

  10. These are just amazing. The magnetic pull of the moon pulled your camera. I really want to try photography, but I'm a complete beginner. Everyone at Best Posts of the Week has been so inspirational. Thanks for sharing. -Lola at Buddhatropolis.com
