On the outside, looking in

This is either a very early or very late blip at 1am -- depending which side of bedtime determines your day.

I was outside, very much looking the stalker, navigating the obstacles of my moonlit backyard, my tripod in hand, in a futile attempt at finally getting a good picture of the moon. All I managed was a bunch of shots of a brightly lit circle and much out of focus framing trees.

I wisely decided to abandon that particular pursuit, after my husband asked for the third time "what are you doing out there, dear?" in a tone of voice that implied I was slightly off kilter...

As I walked back to the house, I saw this shot. Home sweet home. :)
