There is something mystic and magical about an eclipse. I
was looking forward to clear skies and the opportunity to see the sun blot out
the moon’s gleaming orb once the night arrived.
Instead, the sunset showed clouds were congregating,
determined to hamper a night designed for pictures.
The solar lights shone with all their intensity as darkness
swirled with clouds pressed towards the Earth. The flag solar light (a gift
from my sister in SoCal) defied nature’s attempt to shadow out natural light.
And then, the clouds parted and began rolling away. Some
even appeared to be behind the moon as it struggled to shirk off the sun’s
cover. It looked close enough to fly to
in record time!
I was so delighted to see the huge moon and part of the
eclipse. Did anyone get to see the whole event? What did you enjoy most about
the lunar eclipse?
Honestly, I forgot all about it. It was past my bedtime, but I probably would have stayed up if I had remembered.
ReplyDeleteI went outside a couple times and it was covered in clouds. I did see a lot of pictures of it on Facebook. Catherine S
ReplyDeleteARGH! We missed the eclipse. I don't know how we managed, but we just brain dumped it.
ReplyDeleteWe wanted to see the blood moon, but the weather was not on our side. We got to see a little of it, at least.
ReplyDeleteI stayed up to see it as well but it was way past my bedtime and I paid for it the next day. LOL.
ReplyDeleteIt was too rainy here to get to see any of it, unfortunately. I'm glad you got to see part of it! It looked awesome in photos.
ReplyDeleteI tried to see it but sadly too many clouds. I was so disappointed. I was out there with my camera waiting! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteAww I heard about this too late! I would have loved to get a view like this! I love that horizon shot.
ReplyDeleteWe loved watching the eclipse. First of all who isn't curious about a 'Blood Moon'? First time I'd heard that term. We watched as the end of the eclipse covered the moon and it seemed to vanish totally into the cloudy sky. Loved the eerie red tint when it reappeared too.
ReplyDeleteI saw some of it. It was a little creepy when it was totally dark, though!
ReplyDeleteIt was super cloudy and rainy here so we didn't get to see it ;( thank god for social media right!?
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I took the kids outside to see the supermoon eclipse but the clouds really made it difficult. We still got to see hints of the event and all found it amazing!
ReplyDeleteWe had a really clear view of the moon. It was amazing to see and you got some great pictures too!
ReplyDeleteWe missed the eclipse here in Atlanta. Usually we have a great view, but the clouds covered EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeleteWe missed it completely! It is neat to see these amazing moments in space. It's a good lesson in patience as it never seems to occur right when we think it's going to!
ReplyDeleteI took my family outdoors to try to see it, but there were too many clouds. I love all the photos of it.
ReplyDeleteThe clouds were completely covering the moon. I was so sad to miss the eclipse
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to have seen it. I went out at 8:30 and it was too early. And then I fell asleep. -_-
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so nice. I wanted to see the blood moon the other night, but the clouds were in the way!
ReplyDeleteI love this. My granddaughter ran outside every 10 minutes to see the Blood Moon. Love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get to see it here. It was too cloudy. Glad you got to see it and take pics!
