Summer Moon

Summer Moon

 

Chelsea came home for the weekend. Driving home from Marseille we traced along the foothills of Saint Baume. The Super Moon rose to greet us. It was as a glowing ball of wonder and took our breath away.

Without stopping, we watched the super moon dance, weave, then it peeked in and out behind the mountains.

How did that enormous surprise hide itself behind the foothills?

Wonder and awe.

Something old, something new.

Constant.

I took a photo claiming it, "Ying and Yang."

The trees became a paint brush, dipping in the faded light, then splashing what it had against the sky as we rushed by.

Super moon.

Twilight.

With my daughter.

Delight.

    I can’t imagine any more beautiful art that what you made of that evening, Corey. Especially as you describe it as the trees becoming paint brushes. Just gorgeous. And part of what makes you such a blessing.

  3. so lovely-you’ve captured such wonders… we’ve been so enjoying the moonscapes from our hot tub in Chico! & also from the front yard- really incredibly blessed to have such beauty in our very own yard!
    thanks for sharing such lovely vistas!

  4. beautiful impressionistic photos…
    here in the north east, we call the july full moon, the full thunder moon.
    if a moon can blaze, it was blazing, high in the night sky. it was as if the lady moon had grown tired of only reflecting a pale version, of the sunlight she sees…
    so she decided to give it her full power… reflect back, the total amount of sunlight, which she sees. beam it down to earth and make an (almost) spot light, on the earth’s july night.
    you go lady moon!!!!
    and thank you!!!

  5. this post and these comments are so inspiring-and poetic as always one of my greatest daily pleasures is my time spent with the tongue and cheek group-just lovely!

    My husband, four year old daughter and I were driving home to DC from Ellicott City, Maryland yesterday evening after enjoying a lovely production of As You Like It from the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company at a historic park.
    The blazing orange super moon was shrouded with dark clouds and illuminated with sheet lightning. It was a wonderful night cap to a lovely evening outside.

    We were at a friend’s cabin on the water, north of Olympia WA, for dinner when suddenly the person facing the moon direction gasped and pointed us all that way. What a huge golden orb coming over the fir-tree-lined hills! We could even see the face of the man in the moon.
    How fun to think of you seeing the same moon from where you are.

  8. Yes, that would have been a delight.
