Usually my pictures are taken with the mountains for a backdrop, but I didn’t make it home last night due to events yesterday afternoon and this morning far from home. These shots, which I took through tree branches created a different effect. I like it, even though neither the branches nor the moon are as crisp and clear because the focus of my lens gets confused.
Let me know what you think. Any favorites?

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.

Fabulous pictures Laura, I especially liked the second one down. I was walking home 2am yesterday morning and our clear skies over the UK were lit up illuminated by a ‘fullish’ moon, it near blinded me when I looked at it.

Thank you! It’s amazing how bright the light from the full moon can be. It’s the premise of my book so it’s fun to read your words. 😊
