All three photos were taken on November 5 (UK Bonfire night) in the two fields either side of my house. Here is a sequence taken casually during the course of about an hour in the changing light that night.( times approximate).
One – at the fireworks party at 6.00 pm in the rabbit’s allotment field to one side.
Then- the sunset (detail) at 5.00 pm from my turret in the middle.
And then the moon hanging in the huge space, the farmers rabbit field with the wide horizon. I simply abandoned the fabulous comfortable sunset seat and dashed over to the moon to grab it before the clouds could as soon as I noticed it in the light pink sky.
I am not sure which piece of the the sky took more of my breath that evening. At first it was the silent and dramatic spangled sky from the house; then back to a silent gentle night just before lights out as it rushed silently over the field, then forward , back again to a dark and a rather noisy light driven shining on indigo crackling, in the cosiest field! I could only hope in the end that the rabbits had made a run for it through and out of the middle of it, to the quieter place on the other side, run,running towards the moon, but I didn’t see them.

I’d put money on the rabbits surviving. We don’t have a bonfire night any more. Do you still call it Guy Fawkes night or Guy Fox as we used to say when little?

I have only seen the one since then. I think its more Halloween these days and Firework night. No one knows who Guy is any more unless its the one up the road!!

What a shame such traditions die out or get internationalised.

They must have grown wings that night ( or do all the fields round here connect with secret ancient bunny running tunnels?) ….. I saw flicks from bunny tails, joined to dancing brown shadows, in yet another field this morning, two fields away from the rather dangerous Farmer’s field and 3 fields away from the ashes…. and just a little nearer to the moon. So all is well! ❤ (Honestly!)

It was pretty awesome round the bonfire. I hadn’t wanted to go. It had been a bit of a busy day. It was only over the way so it was easy enough pop over. I am glad I went because I got a few good ones.
