I was heading back to bed after a brief episode of insomnia, when I saw this:

1. And while you were looking at the moon...

I was watching this!




It made me think about how we see things from a different perspective. We have a collective experience, but individual situations. Do you think there's a poem in there, somewhere, CalPeggy? Maybe it's too heavy for so early in the morning!




Shot at 5:49 am EDT.

3. Beautiful!

[Roy Rolling]

6. Perfect

Just heavy enough...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. That is just so beautiful, my dear mnhtnbb! It looks like a painting.

We do see things from a different perspective. I think that there might indeed be a poem in there.......although I am more into photography these days than I am poetry. They take turns...

5. Good night, Moon!

7. The moon was still up when Snowy and I were coming back

from our 6:30 am walk. I don't see the moon from my north facing balcony...but there it was visible looking south.

9. Beautiful.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Indeed, the moon was saying Good Night!

[samnsara]

8. Beautiful! Is it Jupiter to the SW of it?

...not in your pic ,but in the sky? I can just see it thru the pine trees.

11. Might have been Mars according to this chart

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Ah, thank you!

I was looking through a small window when I saw it, so nothing else was visible. It was just the purest luck that I saw it at all.

10. Both PM & AM photos are lovely.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. I think so too, and thank you, my dear irisblue!

12. Beautiful Peggy!

Your photo made me think of this movie I saw recently--apropos in these days of
immigrant troubles--'Under the Same Moon'.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Thank you, my dear panader0!

I read your wikipedia article and it made me tear up. It looks like a phenomenal movie.

Thank you!

[Callalily]

24. Sooooooo beautiful.

Guess this time your insomnia paid off.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Thank you so much, my dear Callalily!

It did! I needed to do something beautiful that night.

I slept very well after that.
