Looking to the Sky – The Moon from my Backyard

Posted on July 13, 2020 by Susanne Swanson

I’ve always enjoyed looking at the night sky. These days that mostly means watching the moon rise over my backyard where the garden shed and trees sometimes obscure the views.

The results can be mysterious.

You may even see the eye of God wink at you.
