I honestly have no idea if the name of this poem is, I am a Child of the Moon. In fact, when I tried to research who Zara Ventris is, my beloved Google failed me. All I was able to ascertain is almost three years ago, this and a dozen other pieces appeared on an Instagram account, and two others have been added in the past month.
That being said, when I found this image I took of January’s Full Wolf Moon, I decided to look for a quote or bit of prose to use as a caption. Discovering this poem is definitely a #GoogleWin. *grin*
UPDATE February 15, 2017 – This just happened on my Instagram post, so it looks like I got Zara’s approval. YAY! *grin*

Every bit of that is gorgeous. I can dream of that sky drawn in flowers, because right now it’s drawn with all the garden detritus I didn’t clean up before the early snow came and now it’s dark too early to get it when I get home from school. Flowers make a much nicer picture… π
Thanks, Jess. Speaking of, I can’t wait to see more pictures of your garden in the spring.
Oooo that’s pretty!
Thanks, Risa!
Wow! all I can see is that gorgeous capture. I wonder how you get these neat shots all the time. π
Thanks, Parul! I easily take at least 200 pictures of each full moon (weather permitting, of course), and with lots of practice and playing with the zoom, exposure, and such, I can usually get at least a few usable shots. π
Perhaps Zara will Google herself (himself?) and find this beautiful pairing of words and image.
Since Zara posted semi-recently on Instagram, I tagged her (pretty sure somewhere in the posts, there’s a reference to being a she, but could just be my bias) when I shared it. And thanks, Mel!
Beautiful! The words and the photo.
Do you use a tripod when you take your photographs of the moon?
Thanks, Mali. Yes, I do use a tripod for my moon pictures (and some of my bird pictures as well). It makes a big difference.
I think it’s called Moon Child : https://www.instagram.com/p/nSBMrcIeKn/?taken-by=zara_ventris
Thanks, Em. I did see the hash tag with the post, but wasn’t sure if it was also the title. I did tag Zara in my IG post, but haven’t heard anything.
Moonchild. (yeesh me.)
LOL! You sound like me. π
lol. at least the company is good. π
How cool!!!
Thanks, Ritu! I was pretty psyched I got a response. π
Aw!!!
