Have you ever noticed how the light changes outside when a rainbow is about to appear? Color and contrast suddenly intensify. That's when I run outside with my camera. I just know there will be a bow in the sky. Often there are two.
I've also included my Garden Mantra. Which I use in my garden and elswhere.
I attempted to photograph the moon. Difficult. It's moving a lot faster than it seems. I read an article on 'shooting' the moon and discovered that there is fancy equipment for such a task. ~sigh~ I will not be investing in these things right away. And I'll restrict 'shooting-the-moon' to a game of hearts.
There are a few photos of our family trip to the zoo on Labor Day Weekend. AJ was monkey-enchanted. 'More monkeys? More monkeys?'
And lastly, sunflowers blooming in my garden. Finally. They were the absolute last bunch to bloom at the community garden and I thought it would never happen. Sometimes life feels that way too. Waiting...breath holding...pain; but then it unfolds and blossoms and all the agony is forgotten in the joy of that perfect moment. Anticipation is a terrible and wonderful thing.
I was amazed at how close I got to rainbow's end.
I loved this bow because it persistently grew brighter despite the fact that it endured against the backdrop of a dark-grey velvet storm.
Garden Mantra
I am Eve in the garden
in the garden
in the garden
I am Eve in the garden
In the Garden of Delight
In the Valley of Joy
Under the rainbow
Beneath God's hand
Where all is good and right.
(Repeat)

Ah! Real monkeys.
More monkeys?

These eyes have seen a lot of new things today.
