Full moon

The moon is huge, full, completely in the clear, and it's making a shining path across the lake and directly into the window east of my desk.

In the middle of the path is a sailboat, completely dark against the lighted water. If anyone tried to paint this scene, it could end up as a cheesy silhouette on a background of shiny paper, and would give viewers no idea at all of its true beauty. I just feel lucky to have seen it at all, because the sailboat has now moved out of the shining path, and I can't even see its green running light.

Winter moons are the best, because we so often don't see them as anything other than light behind a cloud layer.

No pictures. I've tried that before, and it only leads to frustration!
