    Lovely photo, Kay, and I agree about the music--though I know so little about classical music, I do love listening to those calming sounds, and sailing off into dreamland.

    That is one of the most dramatic photos of the moon I have seen - the night is so clear. It is beautiful. You can add Dick to your list of thanks for bringing you the night.

    Love Chopin but not keen on Rubenstein's interpretations.
    Your photo is magical:-)
