The Moon

Whilst I was writing the blog this evening I watched the Moon rise. The clouds are thin and stratified. The three quarter Moon rose slowly behind Bardon Hill, huge, red and tastefully obscured by two thin wisps of clouds. As the evening wore on the moon continued it slow upward climb and changed in to its usual milky white colouring. The clouds and passing moon had made new elegant tableau's each time I looked up from typing a paragraph. Just now the moon is hazy but sitting on a cloud layer. It would be a nice night to be aboard. If only I had a reason to be out.

In between writing the blog and musing over the moon I found a photo of the lottie from 30th March this year and compared it with the one I took at the weekend. It is a striking change. See for your self.

March: Frosts, digging, manuring

July: warm, dry, plants hurrying to harvest in full vigour.
