SkyWatch: Mr. Moon

Skywatch Friday

I am new at taking dusk and night time photos. So, what settings do you use? The moon was full the other night and quite lovely looking out over the valley.

This setting reminded me of a children's book we checked out at our local library, called Sleepytime Songs, The Peter Yarrow Songbook. From the book:

"Each of the songs in this collection contains a message to your children that they will come to understand more and more deeply as the years pass by. Through these songs you can tell your children that you not only love them, but that you love them as much as you've loved anybody or anything in your life."
