The sun set, a bright red ball behind man-made shapes of the city skyline. I stood high on the hill facing west watching as the last daylight of August faded away. Today was hot, humid and dusty and a haze hung in the horizon.
I turned to the east and watched as the full moon rose through the haze, a "blue moon" that was pink and pale. The seasons are changing. Last evening I walked to the top of the same hill an hour earlier to watch the almost full moon rise. A pair of Kestrels hovered and danced together in front of the moon. Large flocks of black birds gathered to roost for the night.
Goodbye August...
hello September.
These shots are terrific! I'm not quite ready to see summer gone but can feel autumn in the air.
ReplyDeleteMe too my friend... so love the fall and would also love two Septembers or Octobers. The relief we'll feel from this heat will be profound. Lovely photos. :c)
ReplyDeleteThe summer really has zipped by. Autumn is definitely in the air here. 5 degrees the last couple of mornings. I'll be lighting up the wood stove soon and would have already if i'd have had my chimney done - hopefully early next week. Great moon shots!
ReplyDeleteI can feel fall in the air. Cooler nights. Although the days are still hot. I'm a September person, too. Thanks for the thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThe seasons are definitely changing. I just really like that Kestral picture. So perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe pink, blue moon was definitely yellow in these parts.
