Walking home she lifted her eyes towards the sky and sighed. The beauty of that moon gave her energy despite the end of a long evening at work. She stopped, admiring this cosmic show and wished she could capture just once, with a photo. “Aw”, she said, “at least I have this imprinted in my memory.

A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

I, too, have tried to capture the moon’s beauty in photography…with little success. Lovely haibun!

Thanks, I was lucky with this one. I took photos last night of the supermoon…a few at my mother’s house over the river and the last one from my bedroom window at 2am.
I keep sitting down to write on my blog but find I have other things to catch up on. I also rented a car this weekend, so I am taking advantage of that too. I just brought back my Surface 3 tablet due to battery problems and will be getting an IPad today
