Eugène Boudin, a local artist from Le Havre, urged 17 year-old Monet to swap caricatures for landscapes.
Boudin taught Monet to chase light & color outdoors — lessons that shaped Impressionism.
As Monet said, “A veil was torn from my eyes.”
Got it... a clear horizon helped.
It’s Go Time*! The sun is setting! Time to go spot a crescent moon!
Rocky, from Project Hail Mary chimes in to say: It’s Time Go!
🤣
Crescent #Moon tonight!
My app says 1% illuminated! ⬇️
Moons … a pattern on my door from the setting Sun filtering through the blinds. I’m easily entertained.
🤣
Stay away clouds!
This what perfection looks like

You did it!
My poor iPhone SE had a nervous breakdown, but got it!
The Moon is that streak of light in between the two cloud banks, above the tree tops.
Saw it naked eye, which was delightful! 😎👍
I guess I should post one of my own videos. They’re 2 minute nature docs about birds, bugs, frogs and more. Here’s my most watched one. Pileated woodpeckers having a duel!
