A couple of months ago I posted an image I’d taken at a park near my house. The sky was twilit, a sliver of silver moon visible between the bare branches that stood black against the sky. Last night I was at the same park at about the same time, and I decided to take another photo of the same view.
And how it has changed. The sky is blue, the sun still golden above the horizon. Green leaves cover the once-bare branches and the air (take my word for it) is much warmer. Still, I think I prefer the earlier image. It captures my favourite time of day, as we slide towards night, and the little sliver of moon seems caught in the branches like a piece of magic.
It’s a little reminder of how seasons change, yet underneath it all, there is much that stays the same.

It seems peculiar but with each new season I find myself thinking, ‘this is my favourite!’ Right now, spring is in the ascendant but soon it will be summer and I just know it will take spring’s place. Maybe I’m fickle or maybe – my preferred idea – it’s all about being able to seize the joy of the moment.
Love the line about the moon being caught in the branches like a little piece of magic!
Thanks Louise 🙂 I must say I’m enjoying the warmer temperatures, though the hayfever isn’t as much fun! Autumn still remains my favourite time, something about the melancholy in the air (at least that’s how it feels to me).
