1. The moon is rising, peeking through ragged clouds.

A few bats fly around looking for breakfast, the city is lit up for the evening and sparkling in the west. When there's a full moon and I ask my husband if he noticed it on his way home from work, he always answers: "No, I didn't. I want to see the full moon! Turn around and bend over." Evidently this joke never gets old for him.

4. Rec - so beautiful and evocative

I've loved that piece my entire life and it will live forever. Another piece by a contemporary of Debussy is Autumn by French female composer Cecile Chaminade. Through the piece, I can almost see the melancholic images of autumn, like haystacks, flocking birds, and downpours. Chaminade's Autumn is one of my all-time favs, along with Debussy's Claire de Lune.
