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!
ReplyDeleteHurray for light! And for some dark for contrast.
ReplyDeleteits amazing and it is like magic sometimes... although we are outside every night, we never ever could get a moon-photo LOL
ReplyDeleteI 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.

ReplyDeleteStunning!!! I love how your creativity was once again pushed to brings us this beauty. YAM xx
It is a gift to see beauty everywhere. Your moon and stars were a lovely gift, indeed.
ReplyDeleteLove your night time photos, the moon and stars are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteI like these pictures. Even the one you drew in Procreat is cool. That AI image is a winner for sure.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous sky, both real and imagined. I love how beauty shows up for us wherever we look for it!!
ReplyDeleteI see the stars - so beautiful! Last night we saw the blood moon and it was gorgeous, but when I tried to get a picture it was just grainy. So you did good!
ReplyDeleteHello Sandra :)
ReplyDeleteYou did well in capturing the stars in the nights sky. I can see them in your photos, and A I did a good job of interpreting what you saw. Your inspiration is really good to see.
All the best Sandra
Sending hugs to the three of you.
Sonjia.
I love that nightlight! Normally I (try to) make the girls wait until 6a to step outside ... on account I'm a big chicken. Tomorrow morning, however, we need to hit the road at like 3:30 to be in Alex City for Tom's procedure. Suffering from night blindness, I'm more than a little nervous. Turn up that moonlight!
ReplyDeleteWow what beautiful pictures. I can never get night photos. Need a better camera. The stars are so pretty and bright against the backdrop of darkness. It really speaks, without words about the true sustaining Light, doesn’t it?!
ReplyDeleteSandra, whatever you draw and post - I am blown away by it. I can't believe you got the stars. That you know a couple of AI's. The nightlight. I like the neon too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Sandra. Big hug to you, prayers to Bob and lots of scritches and an extra treat to handsome Beau. ♥
Beautiful, magnificent dawg.

How wonderful that you saw stars. I don't see any very often. Too many city lights. We do see them in Montana. I did see a beautiful moon the other night driving home from Adam's house.
ReplyDeleteHow neat.... We live in town and it is very difficult to see the stars shining at night from all the street lights. Our daughter lives only a mile out in the country from us and at her place, you can see the beautiful sky....
ReplyDeleteLove the starry night and thanks for mooning us! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAmazing stars and the lovely night sky. Even the blackness and neon lights are pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove your challenge and artistry.
Sue
Oh gosh, these photos were ALL amazing...the ones you actually took, the ones you drew yourself, and the AI ones too, but they all gave us a beautiful picture of your starry starry night. I loved it. And that nightlight is really nice too!!! I love that you are able to write a little more now. We all love to hear from you when you are able. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely night it was, I am glad you saw it and reproduced it for us, as well as taking pictures. We don't see many stars here, too much city light.
ReplyDeleteI love how you see beauty wherever you can.....Remember that verse about thinking on the beautiful, true, lovely, etc. That's what you do.....
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! You took beautiful nighttime photos.
