Strangely beautiful

The moon was gorgeous tonight.  It looked like a pale, golden half-wheel of cheese laid out on the black tablecloth expanse of the sky.  Lately the moon has been bright and clear white, so its appearance tonight was something of a surprise.

Another surprising aspect of the night landscape was fog.  As I drove home from Target (where else?), the fog grew thicker and thicker.  By the time I was a few blocks from home, I could barely see past the front of the car.  I almost felt as if I was driving through heavy smoke.  It was very disorienting and I can only imagine how much more foggy it must be a few miles west of my home where the suburbs give way to open countryside.
