Did you get to see the full moon last night?
Round, yellow-orange like a perfect Mimolette cheese, and as magical as ever... a moon for when mysterious things happen and wishes come
true.
Up the hill where all those tall trees stand in the front of
our little white cottage, the moon was seen... coming up among those trees, as
if rising from the ground... That's the view I get looking out from our front
porch. You see, our cottage is located right
on the bend of two hills. One coming up
and one going down. Or vise-versa, depending on the direction you're coming, or going. It
all depends on directions. So if you're coming up the road from that certain
hill all you will see is our roof—our little white cottage buried down at the
bottom of that hill, but if you're going up the other way, then things stand higher up, and all you'd see are the tip of your neighbor's roofs and the moon right almost at the
feet of those trees... something like
what you see here...
It was getting darker very fast as I was out there taking
pictures, and down that hill, the little white cottage looked mysterious, and
quiet, and I felt the magic of ages wrapping up my soul in orange light...
...the moon
reigning over my little world, glowing down in its full splendor at all those
willing to look up, or be out there photographing it. What a magical moment that was!
And down the hill our cozy nest awaited!
So dark, and quiet!
Nights at the little white cottage are always so beautiful
and dark, and I love the ambiguity and delicious mystery and coziness that surrounds
us. Nights in the country have no
comparison... I would always prefer those country nights over noisy city nights. The more when you get to live in a magical little
white cottage, tucked away in a wood where fairy tales abound... a place where haunting
beauty and magical strangeness surround you, and you get to live in a world
where anything can happen. Frogs can be the handsomest of gentlemen, a thicket
of brambles can hide a witch's shack deep in its floors, and a girl can fly
with fireflies and dance with fairies... what else can one ask for! Oh do tell me, where you out there adoring the moon too!

Oh lucky you! To have such views, of the lovely Harvest Moon!
ReplyDeleteHere, we got a tiny peek at it, on Monday night. Through the trees to our east. And a glorious reddish gold, she was!!!!!! Breathtaking! I tried to take a photo, but my little camera does not "do" distance, or moon taking, well. But we saw it! We saw it!!!
Since, rain/clouds have come to stay. Heavy rain today, Wed., the actual Full Harvest Moon night. So I have little hope of seeing The Lady Moon, in all her glory, tonight. -sigh-
May not see her but know she is shining up there! And if one could fly above the rain clouds, one could bask in her silver beams. :-)
Come to think of it, imagination allows that, at any time!!!! :-) All we need, is to let our mind take flight!!!
Happy, Happy Full Harvest Moon wishes to you!

Gotta see that moon again today, if it only is from the comfort of my bed... Thank you for letting me know!

I stepped out on the porch to howl at that beautiful Moon. I do it every month, have since my kids were little. My Mother used to when I was little. Not too loud now that I have neighbor's, but a nice--how...how...howoooooooo.
ReplyDeleteOhh, how adorable! Love it! Can I howl too! ;)

Oh my, how did you ever get such crisp clear pictures of that moon? It's simply magical. Your beautiful and haunting description of the road to the cottage as well as the photos of the moon reminded me of one of my favorite poems, The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. The first stanza goes like this: The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, the moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, the road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, and the highwayman came riding, riding, riding. The highwayman came riding up to the old inn door....
ReplyDeleteI love that poem, but it is sad!
DeleteIt's a beautiful poem but yes, very sad. It has brought tears to my eyes more than once.
DeleteBeautiful... and totally enchanting...

I saw her, that beautiful moon that has enough beauty to shine over you there, over your House in the Roses and grandfairies... and over me in the middle! I hope you and your family is safe through this storm on the horizon.
ReplyDeletePraying and hoping everyone is safe... I'm so scared. I could have picked them up and brought them with me by plain, but mom is in such estate it would had been so difficult for me. I didn't know what to do, so my sister took them with her to her home, which is only 3 hours from where they live, south. It is not really too far away from their coastal south, but at least they are all together. I feel so guilty.

I love the pictures of the moon. I always keep our blinds up in our bedroom because I can see the moon from our window. Love it on a full moon.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious... enjoy it.

A Red Moon was barely visible through the thick smoke of fires that are burning intensely in my Western World. Much like Mr. Sun has looked during the daylight hours for the last three weeks. I am hoping the Autumn Rains appear on the Earth once more, and Peace will reign.
