I woke up early this morning and didn't even think about the Lunar Eclipse. In fact I had a raging old headache and I was positively feeling kind of grumpy.
I'd given up even looking for the moon or driving to the ridge to watch it or photograph it. Grumpy Me.
However, I got a little text from my neighbor wayyyyy up on the ridge. The view of the Eclipse was stunning from her deck. I am jealous of her views except when the winds blow. I grabbed my long lens and walked outside in stocking feet.
I could see it!
What a goof. Instead of putting on shoes or boots, I jogged down to the mule pasture and ducked through the hot wires. I trotted up to where I could see the moon. My shots were noisy and messy because I just flipped the camera to Auto ISO. It was 28 degrees and I was in PJ's.
The pictures are not very great, but hey, I got to see it!
My neighbor to the west of us...they are half a mile away.
and then...
it was gone...as the sun rose and the moon set.
Funny thing.
My headache went away.
So there you go.
Maybe the cold air was a good thing.
