A Year in the Making
Last October there was an evening when I was out at the far edge of the lawn at the end of dusk. There was a gorgeous half moon high in the sky, and I could see the windows of my house glowing warmly. The tall weeds and wildflowers in the creek bottom and the last bit of foliage on the trees was still just faintly visible, and the sky was a beautiful wash of blues. I was in love with the scene, and wanted to paint it. Wanted to paint it a LOT. Don’t have a camera that could even remotely capture that low-light, though, and the moment was so fleeting.
Last week I looked up the moon phases and asked my son if he could bring his good camera up on Sunday evening around 7pm. Can we? Get the shot? That one just-right shot??
And I’m happy to say that he did! I can’t wait to see the results. However, he will be out of town for work for the next couple of days, and then getting ready for a big music event at Home Farm at the end of the week. I don’t know when he’ll have a spare moment to edit the shots and send them to me.
I’m excited, tho. I can’t believe everything lined up so neatly. Moon phase / foliage / weather / son’s availability. I am going to be so, so calm and patient about this. So calm.
