When my son, Jack, was young we listened to Native American stories on audio tape. Every time there was a big full moon in the sky we were fond of saying – “Look, there is Grandmother Moon!” Last night was one of those full moons that seem so close you can touch it so I got my tripod out and took a number of shots. I was very excited to see that you can actually see the craters in some of the pictures!
This gallery is dedicated to my son Jack, I hope you still think of Grandmother moon when you see a big moon like this.
About Pamela
I received an MFA with a concentration in printmaking from State University of New York at Albany in 1981. Upon completing my graduate degree I traveled to Barcelona, Spain for a year, apprenticing with paper artist Laurence Barker. While working in Spain I combined my new papermaking skills with woodblock prints and created a new body of work. I have shown extensively on the East Coast including a solo show at Amos Eno gallery in NYC. I have been teaching art to both adults and children for over forty years including working as an adjunct professor at Russell Sage College and as a public school art teacher.

Pam, Something from the news: The full moon of this past weekend was called a “Supermoon” because its orbit was very close to the earth and it made a big impression. Next “Supermoon” is Aug. 10 and will be closer than this last one. Next after that is Sept. 9.
MORE MOON SCIENCE NEWS: This week is the 45th anniversary of the moon landing of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from NASA. Also science has figured out that there are numerous huge craters on the moon, some of which have cave-like recesses in which astronauts can find shelter. — Mooney
Something I found out: When you click on the first j-peg above, top left, you bring up a slide show that shows all of the images, enlarged, in a series
That is the gallery setting, I’m still playing around with this stuff!
Beautiful!
Beautiful pictures already. I am very excited to follow your travels and hope you keep blogging. Happy trails, dear Pam!
Thank you Petra, this is indeed an adventure!
