It had rained for days so I was concerned that a cloud cover would obstruct the total moon eclipse for me last night. But, it didn't.
I had a front row seat... on my balcony...the moon just over the tree tops. It was fascinating. And, you know, it's not supposed to happen again in my lifetime, not unless I live to be 99. At which time I probably wouldn't give a hoot about a moon eclipse anyway.
I am linking with Through My Lens and Catching Light.
Here are my pictures of the eclipse:
There's a chunk out of the side of the moon.
On another note. This is for those of you who commented on my 'pink pumpkin dressed in lace'
in my last post. There was a picture of one in yesterday's paper. It's a galeaux d'eysines pumpkin commonly known as the peanut pumpkin. The outer skin is not pink as I had thought but pale orange (or so they said but I'll stick with my pink!!) The skin is covered with woody humps and bumps that resemble a peanut shell. So now we know!!
I sure hope you got to see the eclipse. It was awesome.

Your photos are stunning! Was too cloudy here in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteHello, lovely captures of the supermoon and eclipse ! Wishing you a happy day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome and you caught it very well. I also happen to think that the most definitely pale pink pumpkin is awesome, too.
ReplyDeletegreat shots of the moon..I tried photographing it but without success!
ReplyDeleteWondrous shots! And that pumpkin is incredible!
ReplyDeleteGreat moon photos!
ReplyDeleteToo much cloud cover here

wow! glad you shared it here. I didn't see it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series.
ReplyDeleteIt was cloudy here so I went to bed!
ReplyDeleteYou got excellent shots of last night's eclipse! Much better than ours. And I didn't know the name of that pumpkin, but we had one last year that I loved. I always look for the weird pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteThese rewonderful shots of the Moon especially the last shot
ReplyDeleteThat was an amazing sight last night, and your photos are stunning.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are wonderful and I did see parts of the eclipse ... we had clouds that kept slipping over the moon so it was on and off the whole time ... very frustrating, but I am delighted that we saw any of it, as the weatherman had said "cloud cover" ... so glad they are right only half the time :) Very nice series, Latane ...

Very nice moon shot, Latane. We went out to look for it, but the clouds were too thick. Missed it altogether.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky to get these shots--they are just amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt was too cloudy to see the moon here, so I'm glad you got good shots to share.
