Commitment: the state of being emotionally impelled to do something. My commitment is to making art, loving life and doing well.

Daily Artworks... my continuing challenge for 2015: Observe and record. Record and observe. And stretch - s-t-r-e-t-c-h - myself.
What will I discover?

Birches and their Neighbors - Day 16

Moon and Birches


Almost-Full-Moon-Rise Through Winter Birches  
- with a diffuse glow of color through clouds 

Watching the moon rise majestically and slowly above the horizon is such a relaxing thing to do.
In the summer, these birches are in full leaf and they block the lower sky. It's only through the bare branches of these trees in the winter that the moon can be seen at such a low angle.
And the light, yes, it is bright enough to read by.

The halo around the moon and then the sepia of the branches directly silhouetted... ! Did it capture that way?

Not exactly a "ring around the moon" - more a diffuse light through thin clouds. And yes, the birch branches are silhouetted against the bright moonlight. But you can see the textures in the tree trunks.
