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.

Moon walk

Dear lovely Em,
Long time no see. Bit of a lonely road to the field where the rabbits are, where the sunset goes down.But after what seems like weeks of no moon in the sky, he arrived last evening!…. Its either been too cloudy or too something at the time the moon might have been there to make a brief appearance….. Either way he was missed even if he could be seen! But last night (as a result of the moon being clear and bright up there above where the kite is caught up in the tree by the road I thought I would take a walk, over to where the sky was getting pinker. And…. As I walked, the moon kept up with me, side on, all the way there. And he stopped when I stopped! And the biggest miracle of all he turned round and walked with me all the way back home, an hour and a half later. One of the times When he stood still I took this photo (raw, so the sky is black though it wasn’t)so here is the close up for you. The best I could do! I reckon he looked better through the trees a bit farther away actually ( on auto) and the sky deep blue. Less rabbits in the field too and the ones that were there ran away! So you got my moon walk! Love Rosie (love to all)
