Starry Starry Night

 

One morning I stepped out on the front porch to take the garbage bin to the curb. this is what I saw, there are 3 photos here, photos above and 1 below.
And God said, Let there be light, and there was Light
It was so amazing, but I could not get a photo of what I was seeing. The moon was a huge, tilted sliver, three stars appeared in a perfect flow below the tip of the tilted moon, as though it spilled them out into the sky.  I thought, no problem, I will draw it in procreate 

Wrong again! I could not draw a moon; I tried and tried. The middle is what I drew snuggled between two houses that were below the tilted moon.
I asked Gemmi AI to show me what I saw, and it did.

And Sandra said let there be light and there was, and she loves them very much... my new nightlight


a photo of the Aqua House across the street with neon aqua and neon pink lights under his roof line. 
 I love black and NEON LIGHTS.
I parked the trash bin and you can see how beautiful it was while taking out the garbage
. There is a city streetlight in our giant oak tree.

I see the real stars! It is so amazing that you were actually able to snap the stars, they are so tiny and far away! This is the brightest night light I have seen, and you need it! Our street is ink black in the dark...there are no street lights!

Hurray for light! And for some dark for contrast.

I can see why you go out early with the trash. I like that time of day because it is usually very quiet - maybe a night bird or two, or a fox trotting silently by. Did you see any shooting stars - we've had some spectacular ones recently.

It is a gift to see beauty everywhere. Your moon and stars were a lovely gift, indeed.

Love your night time photos, the moon and stars are beautiful.
Your art looks lovely. The neon lights are better than my neighbors bright white lights. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.

You do find creative ways to occupy the little free time you have, Sandra! Gazing at the moon and stars is always wonderful and you have the ability to use the inspiration to draw what you see. My son-in-law is an astronomer and I am always amazed by the things he points out to me. The distances are simply unfathomable. As for the moon, I am saddened that we plan to land on it again. We have already trashed the Earth and we will do the same thing to the moon. Let’s just spend the vast sums of money that will be necessary to go there trying to clean up what we have ruined here, and leave other places to carry on without the destructive actions of Homo sapiens. It seems impossible for us to leave well enough alone.

I like these pictures. Even the one you drew in Procreat is cool. That AI image is a winner for sure.
I tried to take a picture the other night of the moon and sky but what I saw and what the camera captured were so far off it lost it's beauty.

I could see the stars in our photos when enlarging them. AI did well in the reconstruction, too, though!
