At first, it was as round and orange as a pumpkin. Later, it shone (?) so big and bright that it reminded me of a pearl on black velvet.

Hey, grammar people, is the moon "shone" correct in this context? It doesn't look right.

and as you can see, lots of trees here, so my 'window' is limited, based on PERFECT timing; will try again!

SHONE or SHINED, both are OK!
