There is nothing quite like standing in the garden, in the middle of the night, under the gaze of the silent moon. The frogs may croak, the bats squeak, the rodents shuffle through the undergrowth. The moon is a constant, my silent companion, ever watchful.

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

Hi Christer, yes, I thought afterwards that I should have called it ‘Everyone’s Distant Neighbour’
Very beautiful. I love moonlight, especially during a full moon.

Hi Carrie, I had to smile when Christer said he can see him too! I think he forgets that there are two Moons, how else can we all see it? Mind you there could also be three, or more, as in the song Blue Moon?.
Well, Eric, technically there are many more moons, just not all in our orbit ?. Ours certainly wears many faces; white, blue, gold, blood, full, half, crescent to name but a few. But one thing I’m sure we all agree on is the it is definitely, absolutely certainly, made of cheese 🙂

It’s something I love to photograph; for starters, it doesn’t move as quickly as animals, insects and birds ?
Ha ha, you still capture animals and insects perfectly though! You are an amazing photographer.
