Waning Gibbous Moon 99%, perfect for letting go. The decision has been made, we are moving to Brisbane; my last day of work at UNSW is 31st August 2018. Today, I have drafted my first application for a new role. Aiming to shift my career focus, I am looking at school manager positions in universities.

Excitement and trepidation reign in our house, this weekend.
Despite the light pollution of cities, the moon peeping from behind the Autumn lacework clouds, enthrals.
Sunsets taken with the iPhone often lose colour variations. This one taken in Brisbane, Australia, on Monday captured the moment perfectly, even the moon’s smile can be seen about one third of the way from left to right.
A cloudy sky, blue moon and street paraphernalia combine in eeriness, Sydney, Australia
So many people in the past have gazed at the moon reflected in the Pacific Ocean. I feel connected with them. Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.
Many a time, as a child, did I lie
Back aground gazing up high to the sky.
Dinosaurs, elephants; continents too
Drifting so slowly ‘gainst heavenly blue.
So long did I stay that time slipped away;
No troubles here; wish forever to stay.
For life in the moment, gone is the past.
Being present; the way to make life last.
Knowing and accepting myself is key
For me to connect with humanity.
Around me life’s lived at dizzying pace,
It’s challenging to find a quiet space.
I savour life’s many wonders; behold
Life shines bright when embraced, try to be bold.
All, it seemed lay outside when I was small.
Now, I know place to look’s inside us all.
Oft times I ponder the future, a dream
Of what could be; borne upon a moon beam.

This picture started as a photograph of the moon with lunar lens flare. I added filters, duplicated and scaled layers in Art Studio for iPad.
I look forward to your comments.
Brightly seen.
Not in sight.
Glimmering,
Then sliver
Of silver
Shining light.

I managed to catch a shot of a crescent moon as it dropped behind the house next door. I like the way the moon appears to be perched on the terracotta swan neck finial. I was surprised by the number of stars in the picture, as the light noise from street lamps usually obscures them.
I was using A Sony NEX-5N camera with SCN selection set on night scene, zoom lens and a tripod.
