2. Just saw that in our western sky. As always, your photograph does it justice. Thank you

for seeing and sharing the beauty too many of us take for granted.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Thank you so very much, my dear Atticus........

I am deeply touched by your beautiful prose.

I hadn't expected to see the moon tonight, and the sight thrilled me!

It could not have been better.

3. I'll bite. Why the scythe of life?

Something to do with Ramadan?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Well, I was talking to a friend as I posted this, and he suggested the title.

I thought it was very imaginative and so I'm using it!

The shape of this crescent moon does look rather like a scythe to me.

11. A beautiful photo.

I knew the most recent crescent moon marked the start of Ramadan. I tried to make a connection where none existed.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. You have an active and intelligent mind, and that makes you look for connections!

And yes, Ramadan does start with the crescent moon. I think it's very cool that you can make those associations. Many folks cannot.

[TomSlick]

13. I am a fountain of trivia often seeing connections where none exist.

15. Great shot!

Like the title, too!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thank you so much, my dear birdographer!

I hadn't expected to see it, since our skies have been very cloudy lately. But there it was and it galvanized me!

The title was suggested by a dear friend of mine and I like it a lot.
