Porch Light, Moon Light
Murphy sat on the back porch before bed. When I went to let him in, I saw a popcorn looking sky from the moon and the glow of the porch motion light- on and off, on and off- as he turned his head. The deck wood looked red.
No time to get a remote cable and eliminate camera shake.
A deep breath as I propped the camera against the edge of the sliding glass door. Depressed the shutter button while I held my breath. No worries that WordPress forgot to issue their weekly photo challenge.
That is an amazing picture! There is so much to it.

Beautiful shot, Ruth. “popcorn looking sky” is a perfect description. Max strikes the same pose on my back porch several times a day. It’s as if he’s deep in thought as he surveys his realm. Or he’s planning an insurrection against me and waiting for back-up. Time will tell but I sleep with dog biscuits under my pillow.

Thanks for your great comment today! You just wonder what they are thinking. I like the image of the dog biscuits under your pillow, just in case. Good one.
