There was a full moon outside and it was the only peaceful thing they had seen all day.
It shone with an impassive beauty, like a cold gem against dark velvet, not at all interested in the human pain down below.

Photos: DK’s Moon shots @ 5:45 pm today from backyard.
Wonderful double foci: the craters of the moon and the twigs on the tree.
Embarrassed. I had to Google “foci.” Wow. I have so much to learn! Thanks Daniel.
LOL
Beauty. And ain’t that the truth, some days.
Unfortunately Yes Dale.
Or we can say… thank goodness we do have the moon to add beauty…
Or your rotating thumbnail pics.
Haha! Funny guy 🙂
One summer, at camp, we woke up early to run something up the flagpole without being caught, then went back to the cabin to sleep until réveille. When I reawoke, I was aware that I had just had the best sleep of my then short life. “Like black velvet,” I said. “I was sleeping in black velvet.”
What a wonderful memory. Thanks for sharing Debra.
Gorgeous photos. Beautiful.
Thank you Debra.
