🌔 🌕 🌖
There was much buzz about September's full moon with it being the Harvest Moon, a Supermoon and with there being a partial eclipse of the moon on the night when it was at its' fullest. I spent some time moon watching but I did not watch the partial eclipse although it was visible here. Each of the mornings of the 16th, 17th and 18th, I woke early. I think it may have been my subconscious being curious about the moon. Donned in house coat and slippers with camera in hand, I stepped out onto my deck to at least see if the moon was visible. It was, even though it was in a slightly different location each of those mornings. This collage shows the photos I captured at 4:00am each morning. I have three more full moon paintings and stories to share this year. My 2025 Many Moons Calendar was ordered and is due to arrive on Friday. I am already thinking about what can I focus on to paint next year to create a calendar for 2026! I am open to any suggestions you may have!

With Autumn approaching, pair that with cool mornings and also pair it with fall shades showing, my mind wandered off to thoughts of coziness and comfort food. As it is getting lighter later in the morning now, I have a bit of time to pass before heading out the door to be "out & about". I filled some of that time by creating watercolour comforts. I am enjoying the transition to autumn but I am not quite ready to fully commit to being one with it yet! I envision the scone and soup bringing comfort in a couple of months! What is your go to comfort that brings you coziness?
You're very busy both inside and outside.
ReplyDeleteLaps of naps too in between all that!
DeleteAlways love your birding photos and your yummy paintings. B x
ReplyDeleteThe birds are getting few and far between as we near the end of September! I will miss them over the winter!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love your moon images. The bird collage is great, the birds sightings are slowing down here.
Your paintings are great, a scone with jam sounds yummy. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Thank You for stopping by for a visit and leaving your comment! I wonder with the birds mostly gone south, I may not have a critter blog to write and link to your site.
DeleteHello. Great photos of the moon and nice bird photos.
ReplyDeleteThank You! Time is flying and soon another full moon will be upon us!
DeleteYour moon photos are amazing! The bird collage is great too. Love the watercolor paintings.
ReplyDeleteThank You for your three comments on my three short stories!
DeleteNice moon photos. Yes indeed, the moon appears in a slightly different location at a given time on subsequent days. Its location changes by 12 to 13 degrees and it rises about 50 minutes later each day through its cycle.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
After all my googling on the moon, you just shared information I had not learned about. Thank You for that!
DeleteWhat gorgeous photos. This is the type of post I really enjoy! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed what I had to share!
DeleteColorful paintings if your winter day comfort foods. Ours are a version of Italian Bean Soup served with warm spoon bread and strawberry jam. Seems like every season has a handful of names for the phases of the moon and their meanings. I just like looking at it. Nice moon shots and of the birds on your park walk.
ReplyDeleteI just googled Italian Bean Soup and Spoon Bread! Guess what I will be making this winter!
DeleteLove when you do short stories! The moon shots are fantastic but the scone painting has my mouth watering…yum. ❤️Norma
ReplyDeletePutting the short stories together is a fun project! I prefer biscuits over scones but anytime I google biscuits, scones come up!
