Under the light of the FULL MOON


Just got back from taking a walk with the dogs under the full moon. There's nothing like it.
It is so spectacular and magical, especially on a pitch-black road with no lights.

The Moon completes a full orbit around the Earth every 29.5 days. The phases of the Moon are:

*New Moon
*Waxing Moon (when the Moon gets bigger in the sky, a narrow crescent growing from right to left)
*Waning Moon (when the Full Moon is decreasing in size, moving back towards the New Moon, gradually changing to a decreasing crescent from right to left)

Gibbous Moon is the period beween the first quarter and Full Moon and between the Full Moon and last quarter.

HELLO SPRING!


SPRING is back at last... The long winter has finally shed its white coat, and the dogs & I can get back to our daily routine of walking on our favorite path along the brook.
The last thing I would expect to find in the middle of the woods is a wooden chair set in the most perfect place to view the beautiful surroundings and to take a moment to appreciate nature at its best. But... there it was! Now I can really call this spot my favorite!

Time to take a quick swim in the brook and head home.


What a nice, relaxing and peaceful way
to end the day...
