We visited family this evening
(uhhhhm already yesterday ...)
The sun went down with a silver lined cloud
while on the other side the full moon rose,
big on the horizon ...
a lovely night !
Just like some nights ago when we were surprised
by no less than six BIG flowers
flowers of the night
big as the full moon !
Five flowers + the "moon" of my flash light.
(number six is more to the right)
It's easy to know that the flowers opened :
a heavy sweet scent tells it all !
almost 20 cm (8") !
But ....
only a beauty for one night ...
the very next morning it's over
ales is vergangkelijk , maar nu kan je weer uitkijken en dromen
