  1. Whatever, however, the meaning, be a rock water ? I love the Moon, photos, and story, thank you for your kind and generous, shareing of all your amazing photos, poem’s stories, ext.

  2. Hola, Tom.

    I am going through a long neglected series of your posts and want to comment on several, but this one for now: thank you for the gift of your being in the right place at the right time (by being in the “same” place every day), to catch this less common occurrence. The play of light, the mystery, takes my breath away (and there’s a sense of frosty dampness in my nose and throat).

    Besos y abrazos,

    Starr
