Last Night

Yesterday evening we went out in hopes of a last chance to snap the Full Harvest Moon. Alas, it was too cloudy. But we saw something even better. It started with a wide yellow band.



Then the birds came out. Perhaps Chimney Swifts, circling round and round the chimneys.

The color quickly changed from yellow to pink and blue.




On the way home, one quick glance in the rear view mirror.

Your sky photos always refresh my spirit with reminders that God continually blesses us with beauty in the world all around us. And the quote was spot on as another reminder that he brings beauty out of clouds whether atmospheric or emotional.

I need to attempt to start getting out later in the evening...your views make me miss doing that so much. They are so pretty.

I was able to catch the sight of the full Harvest Moon although we did have clouds. I could not sleep so I spent a lot of time watching the moon.
