Moonrise over the Lake

Moonrise by Sunny Ellis“You’ve got to go see the sunset tonight…well not the sunset, but if you look to the east the moon is rising over the lake,” my husband called and said.

Without thinking about the cold, I threw on my jacket but forgot gloves, a hat, and a scarf. About 5 minutes into my walk to the city beach, I was feeling the cold in my fingers and my ears.

The snow squeaked beneath my feet. My fingers were painfully cold every time I pulled out the camera to snap a picture.

On the way back, I stopped and spent 10 minutes in a hotel lobby to warm up before I walked home.

But to watch the full moon rise in a purple sky over Lake Pend Orielle and the mountains–bliss.

I’d have to agree! Thanks for sharing it. Can’t wait to be there and see something similar myself! Love you!

I wish the camera had picked up the purple/pink of the sky better. Most of it had gone by time I got out to the park.
