See Her as She Flies

For the monthly theme- a line from a song.

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress
Song by Jimmy Webb

… See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

… Once the sun did shine
Good Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Over the mountains and the pines
Then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

… I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
Fell down on my face
I tripped and I missed my star
Fell and fell alone,
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone

… The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own

But she's just wonderful to photograph!

And no one sings this better than Judy Collins.

I'm not familiar with this song, but Judy Collins does it well. The image is a beautiful mirror to the lyrics.

Not sure how I missed this posting the first time around, but saw it in the monthly challenge winner thread just now. Love this picture and I love that song (but I may just prefer the Linda Ronstadt version.)
