Tree Bernstein - "Once in a Blue Moon"

“Once in a Blue Moon” is a photo-collage. The color photo was taken on the road to a small town in Northern Colorado after a spring snow, around dusk. The imposed collage of someone with a burro carrying something in a blue sack (surplus blue moons, perhaps?) and the blue and purple orbs appear to have alighted in a net of telephone wires to illuminate the way. All move towards the horizon. There are seven orbs, a lucky number, which indicates the traveler and his beast of burden are following their destiny, even though it may be the long way home.
