The moon at dawn



The grass was a crystalline silver carpet.
The morning air nipped at cheeks and finger tips.
But it was impossible not to stop - and admire.
A golden moon in a watercolour-wash sky.

  4. So beautiful. I was up at 1 and 3am with a hungry/teething/ear aching baby and then slept until 8. My newphew is staying and at 8 he leant into the baby monitor in Cohens room and whispered "wake up, wake up". I did.
    So funny. :)

  6. I saw it too. You don't want to know about my ridiculous story of why I was up so early, but it was AMAZING. I wish I had my camera, but I was driving along in the car as I turned a corner and saw this huge orange orbit rise above the horizon. It was a really special moment.

  8. Yes, I saw this one too! Amazing, wasn't it? The moon has been quite spectacular in the evening too. Lucky you had your camera!
