While I’m on a wordless sunset/moonrise walk, I know exactly what I think I’ll want to say to convey the magic, and then when I get home, the spell is gone and I just say things like, “It was amazing”. “So beautiful.” “Peaceful and lovely.”
My favorite trail for moonlight walking is closed, so we took a different trail and I’m so glad we did. It was equally magical, perhaps even more so because we were dwarfed by towering cypress stands in a way that doesn’t happen on the other trail.
We had a beautiful view of the hazy moon. There’s something so special about seeing your shadow by moonlight when there’s no other light around.
Click here to hear a short clip of what the swamp sounded like: summer swamp sounds – and enjoy a little taste of the magic! You’ll be amazed at how loud the frogs and insects are!

Very cool.
Peaceful post, too.

I think the reason you couldn’t remember what you were going to say to describe your walk is obvious. It was completely beyond words. Your pictures tell that story! And so does the video!

Oh, thank you! I’m not sure where you live, Lana, but I hope you can take your own moonlight walk sometime if you’re not nearby – they’re such a treat! 🙂
