Evening in autumn

My mother is leaving Ann Arbor on Sunday and in order not to let anyone accuse me of taking her nowhere during her stay here, I drove us to Gallup Park to catch the sunset.

We were a little late, so we caught the moonrise instead.

Some days (or nights), you can look at the sky and remember that the great outdoors transcends our miniscule existence. Planes and space shuttles are far larger than we are, but in the space of the heavens, even they are reduced to the smallest shards and shapes.

Light and shadow. Tree and water. My mother and me. (It's late and I can't think of a better caption.)
