Photography: Wolf Moon

Hello, friends! We are already a few weeks into 2026 and I’m finally emerging from a long hiatus to share with you my first moon photos of the year. These are mostly not the moon, as you’ll see, but they are what happens when you head out on a cloudy evening to chase the moon and it hides from you for a long time. 

I’m sorry I’ve been absent from this space for so long. Life has been a bit challenging, beautiful, and messy. I found my creative tank completely drained. However, these photos mark a new start for me. I’m recommitting to growing my skills in all things. My short story collection just got accepted into another book store, my poetry book is starting to take shape, I’ve got three senior portrait sessions booked, and I’m working with an artist on a children’s book.

Life continues to throw curve balls my way, but I’m dedicated to showing up. Let me know if you have a favorite photo and I’m glad you’re here!

  2. Yay, welcome back Bridgette, you’ve been missed. And a Happy New Year during which I hope good things happen for you. So, maybe #11 where I see someone peeking from behind the cloud, but is also part of it. But I love a road, a track, a trail heading off who knows where – maybe I can run along it and find out. So #1.

  5. This is such a generous, quietly powerful share. What stands out most is the honesty—about absence, about exhaustion, and about the courage it takes to return anyway. Framing these images as what happens when the moon hides is beautiful in itself; it turns disappointment into discovery and absence into subject. That feels deeply aligned with the season you’re describing.

    There’s something poetic about chasing the moon through clouds at the start of a new year.

  7. Good to see you! You were missed here, though I did see your Shorts on Instagram. I love photo #12 but I also can’t resist a picture of the river, especially in the winter when the waters are high and you see so many birds and other wildlife come out in the cooler weather. (Not a fan of the muddy paths, but wait until July when I’m grumbling about the dust and heat.) Hope you are feeling better; those cloudy, grey days we had recently were hard to get through.
