under a witching moon

After what felt like eons of rain, last night I stepped outside with Beulah to enjoy the air for a few minutes.  Just outside the back door we are surrounded by pine trees and it often feels like we are wrapped in a blanket of quiet.  However, just beyond the trees I happened to look up and see this:

Now that is a witching moon if I ever saw one!  I just stood and stared at it for a while.  What a beautiful sight!
