Moon, baby, and me

Took this moon pic from my terrace. Not to brag, but I think I accidentally outshot NASA… they just have better funding and, you know, space access. Guess this was during a Muslim celebration - maybe Eid? I always associate the moon vibe with it, so it kind of makes sense in my head. Also, my friend just had a baby named Luna - did you know Luna literally means “moon”? Anyway, here’s the moon doing its thing - being dramatic, glowing, and ignoring all my life problems.

Yes, I knew that. I hope your friend and her baby are doing well.

@sol_cee We have too many trees around our house to see the moon. I rarely go outside anymore. When we brought Pretty home, she slept through the night. I was on night and day duty because her mom tore while giving birth so she couldn't get up and take care of her. I stayed home from work for a month until Patsi (Pretty's mom) healed up and could get up and take care of Pretty herself. (She had stitches you wouldn't believe. I had to carry Patsi to the bathroom and back to bed again every time she needed to go. )

@DaddyEvil Geez, that sounds so painful. Was Pretty a big baby? Was it a normal delivery? I can’t imagine going through something like that. It must’ve been really tough for Patsi. Good thing she had you there to take care of her.

@sol_cee The sun is sole, the famous poem by St. Francis "Fratello sole e sorella luna" (brother sun and sister moon).

That’s really interesting, “luna” sounds so poetic. What about the sun?

@sol_cee I am on and off here. I just got back from a few months' hiatus. Some old friends are still here, and some are not.

But I like those moon shots with the craters visible. There’s something really cool about seeing all that detail up close

I have a special affinity with the moon. My beloved Doodles the cat promised me to look down at me in every full moon just 2 days before he passed away. That’s when I get to talk to him. Our neighbor up the street has an adorable little white cotton like dog named Luna.

Speaking of the lunar landing, if I remember right, the Philippines won Miss Universe around the time of the Apollo 11 Moon landing

I think NASA is very jealous of you. Did you use a Samsung Phone?

Oh no, I didn’t. Is a Samsung phone better for taking photos?

That's a beautiful picture of the moon from your terrace. I think you might have done a better job than NASA
