Is there Silver at the end of the Moonbow?

Putting the horses to bed late at night has its perks. Shooting stars, hunting bats, the Milky Way--I never know what the night will bring. When the moon is full, the horses glow. Then you can see what they look like on the Other Side.

Tonight, it was a moonbow. I never knew there could be such a thing. The western sky is clear, with the moon hanging low. The eastern sky is full of thunder. And there is a faint, pale, perfect arc. No color; the quarter moon is too dim. But that makes it even more wonderful.

Our horses get their evening meal about 6:30 or 7:00, so every fall there is a night when I got out and think Wow, as I see the starry sky for the first time of the season. (Not as good as when we moved here in '92, but still fairly impressive.)

I've never seen a moon bow, but I still recall the time I saw a full moon with a ring around it.

Wow! It sounds gorgeous!

With Ernesto drizzling on us, there was no reason to be outside at all after dark last night.

Too many lights in my city/ Too much fog as well. Once we had a blackout here and people came out of their houses and marveled at the sky.

One of the reasons I go to Arizona from time to time. To see the sky, and moonlit horses.

You too, of course.
