And Dance to the light of the Moon.....


We celebrated the cooler nights by burning a small fire in the shade garden tonight and drinking wine in the pure white light of the moon and the golden glow of embers. The wife had a close encounter with a brown recluse in our waterbed this morning and I suppose we both were feeling rather gratefull that she mashed the thing before it was able to bite her, only she hadn't realized the thing was there till she changed the sheets and discovered it's freshly flattened carcass. So, a reason to celebrate is a reason to celebrate, no matter the stretch. I took the digital camera out to see if it would register the landscape in the moon light and got some interesting results when I enhanced the otherwise black frames I ended up with. The one included here is the wife toasting the Moon Goddess, who bathes us in pure white joy. I look forward to the day we can get this little corner of the property fenced in so we can enjoy the night air against bare flesh and get a "moon-tan".
Thus ened our Sunday night, and how we ended it after both working. Hope enjoy the pic.

I wonder how many of us looked up at the same moon and marveled at the beauty?

great photo. I had a friend who got bit by a brown recluse. He ACTUALLY made the evening news as his hand had started to rot off. One touch of pressure and puss oozed out of the wound and dried rotten flesh began to peel off. He showed us the video. Stunning stuff really.
