Because there is someone I want to reach, I am gathering a [Sky Photo] search party

Even when looking up at the sky,
there are eyes that cannot grasp the sky.
That is why
I want to deliver it.
(Details about the gathering are at the very bottom)

********

I go outside to take photos to deliver.
Since I'm at it, I'll take my dog along for a walk too.
Then my youngest child says they want to come along.
"Thank you."
Looking happy, they get on their skateboard,
and the stories about "this and that" never end.

--Oh, the moon is out.

When I thought that,
my youngest child said,
"Mom! Lend me your phone!"
With a serious look on their face...

"I'll take a good photo for you too."

I had told them about my friend.
So, I was very happy to see my son's serious expression.

"Then, Mom will too..."

I try changing the light settings to take a picture.
I managed to take one where the craters look like they can be seen with the naked eye.
Seeing that, my son was working hard, tapping away at the phone.

It seems they tried adjusting the light.
They showed it to me proudly.
They intentionally included the trees, which is quite impressive for a 10-year-old.

"Let's take a picture of the sky, not just the moon!"

I actually quite like the towering field lights in a quiet way.

It's not the sky, but autumn was there, so...

The fallen leaves are dancing quite a bit, and the ground is colored in autumn hues.

"Mom! Sit down there!!"

Actually, my son had taken a picture of me here before.

A photo from just a month and a half ago.
Autumn really is a fast walker.

The two of us and our pet walk slowly, waiting for the "star."
"Tell me when you find it."

Trot, trot, trot, trot.

"It's right there!"
"Oh! It came out!"

Taking my mobile phone out of my pocket...
To send to that person
Today's first star

Right in the middle of America
I'm sending today's first star to someone special :)

To Mr./Ms. Abe,
May this first star reach you.

The Today's First Star Search Party
The captain is

right here

He has hair down to his waist, but he's a boy.
It was my third son (10).

*************

Ever since I started this notebook,
I have always been shared smiles byYumiko Abe.
The sky is becoming invisible to her eyes...

There are many skies I want to deliver
to her eyes that can no longer capture the sky.
There are many skies I want to photograph to deliver to her.
But since I cannot capture the expressions of the sky alone,

I am recruiting for the [Sky/Star Photo Search Party].

If you have wonderful photos
or photos you want to deliver,
please,paste my article
and post your photos :)
I hope those who love photography and those who take wonderful photos
will feel free to share them.

If you feel that writing an article is a bit much...
I would also be happy if you could deliver photos via a "tweet" :)
#SkyPhotoSearchParty
If you add that tag, I will surely go and find them :)
If you think... Naeko might not find them... then
I would also be happy if you sent the URL in a comment :)

You do not need to know me or Ms. Abe.
Even if you are just passing by,
if you want to share a sky you thought was beautiful with someone,
I would like you to deliver it here too :)
I will follow the articles and visit,and compile them into a magazine to deliver to Ms. Abe.
There is no deadline.
May many skies and stars be reflected in Ms. Abe's eyes.
For more details,

I wonder if I can capture many stars... Hehe.

A little ahead of time, to everyone,
"Thank you"
I will say it now :)

From Naeko Shichida
