These photos were taken just prior to our first good night of rain. The arty shots were created with Luna.

Night Traveler
Night Traveler
Beneath the moon’s rotation and a sky cobbled by stars,
I lie upon my back and search for Jupiter and Mars.
The Milky Way creates a bridge for my imagination
which journeys down its highway without any hesitation.
Sequestered as I am by walls and blackness of the night,
there are no other travelers to share my nightly flight.
Only approach of daylight can bring this traveler home
as the morning draws a curtain over heaven’s dome.
Prompts today are bridge, sequestered, rotation, cobbled and approach. Image thanks to Ibrahim Shabil on Unsplash.
Lens Artists Challenge: Low Light
Almost dark.so we went home.
Air, Earth, Water, Fire, Metal
After the skylight is covered. Dark in daylight!
These Chinese Lanterns are solar and await the darkness to shine!

Moon in Flux
These are 20 different photos of the full moon taken within a period of a few minutes from my backyard. The only editing tools I used were cropping, light adjustment, color, saturation, and sharpen—all aspects of the Photos Application on my Mac. You’ll get a much better image of each photo if you click on them. The two photos that show two moon are photos of the moon and its reflection in my pool. They are shown in the order in which I took them.

Night Garden
The night turned cool and I was about to arouse myself from my hammock to go up to the house when I caught sight of the moon.

I love the night. I love the night.
So personal and sparse of light.
Naught to stay my straying feet
in their journey towards a late night treat.
No one to interrupt my thinking
or to disapprove my drinking.
No one knocking at my door.
No one to put a bra on for.
I love the darkness and the calm
of blackness spreading like a balm
cushioning the obligations
and the constant consternations
of the cluttered daylight world
with all its busy fuss unfurled.
Though daylight’s pleasures you may recite,
Still, stubbornly, I prefer night!
JNW’s Halloween Challenge: Night
The Visitor
Night creeps in on ghost feet, crawling o’er the hill.
We draw it close around us, as though we’ve had our fill
of sunlight’s lighter glories, ready now perhaps
for shadowed imaginings and black cats on our laps.
Night has different talents—dark, occult and deep.
They stir our dreams and cause us to call out in our sleep.
Acting out the shadows is what our dreams are for.
Surely without night time, our days would be a bore.
