  1. Good afternoon ji,
    ๐Ÿ™ Namaste,
    In the gentle embrace of the night, you witness the moon’s serene smile and the stars’ joyful dance, yet it is in the hidden wonders within each droplet of the fountain’s spray where true beauty lies. In the quiet moments of reflection, you discover that your own sparkle brings light to the world around you.
    Under the soft veil of light clouds, the full moon glows with radiant beauty, casting a tranquil glow upon the world below. It is a reminder that even in the quietest moments, the universe is alive with wonder and magic, reflecting the brilliance that resides within you. That’s what I find in the picture, and I went back to my old memories of such full moon pictures from my window a few months ago. There is something special in the picture.
    Best regards.
    Arun.

  2. What a special shot of the moon and clouds at night. It’s true that we don’t always see the wonders INSIDE nature but you are drawing our attention to them. These posts are perfect for the summer I am having and want to have. ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒ•

  7. This is how we live in darkness, and only isolated, ragged breaks in this darkness allow us to see a spark of real light! Thanks for the photo, Ellen.
