Full Moon Part One 4/19/19

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?

The first two photos are from Tuesday evening.

These two photos are from Wednesday evening. Can you see the difference as it waxes to Friday’s full moon?

Shop Local

There are so many ways and reasons why it’s important to support local businesses. Independent book stores are my favorite places to visit no matter where I travel.

It’s been a while since I shopped for toys, but for the month of April I’ll be spending a lot of time at a Denver toy store, or should I say four wonderful stores? Timbuk Toys has four locations and I am the April Author-of-the-Month at all of them. This is a great example of a local store supporting a local author; something that takes ‘Shop Local’ to another level.

It’s fun to spend time in such a happy place as I’ve been able to share ALIANA REACHES FOR THE MOON with people shopping for birthday gifts, a few teachers, a dad looking for a gift for his daughter, and of course children. Sharing my book with children makes my teacher 💜 so happy! I was even surprised by a friend who came after seeing my event posted on Facebook.

I’ll be visiting all four stores during the month so if you’re in the Denver area, check out TimbukToys and buy a signed copy or two of ALIANA REACHES FOR THE MOON!

The Moon is my Muse

I have over 400 photos of the moon, most of which have been taken in the past two years. Tonight, I added these to my collection. They have not been altered and I’m not sure the magnificence of the color comes through, but I wanted share.
