It was a full moon last night. For the first part of the evening it tried hard to kick the clouds out of the way, and shone through the trees. but rain and cloud beat it in the end. But it was still there!
I love moonlight. Silver and black instead of the colours we are used to. Shadows that seem to very black, melting slowly into shapes that are strange. Everyday things take on different shapes. The grass seems to take on a sparkle, trees are a lace-like curtain for the clouds.
It would seem a form of witchcraft to our ancestors to know that man has walked on the moon. Sometimes it seems impossible to me, although the Harvest Moon, is so close I want to bring it down from the sky!

It was a lovely moon last night wasn't it. I find it magical that we all see the same moon wherever we are. x
moonlight is beautiful.. and the full moon is a wonderful sight. It does hardly seem real that man has walked on the moon.. so far away
