Art was really excited about seeing the total eclipse of the moon which would give us the rare Blood Moon.
I attached my camera to the tripod and got ready for the big event which would happen at 7:12 PM. That's when the moon decided to go behind some heavy clouds. After waiting quite a while, I told Art I was giving up. The mosquitoes were starting to notice I was standing there like a juicy buffet.
I took my camera off the tripod and went upstairs.
About 10 minutes later, Art called out to me, "Bring your camera!"
Sigh...
So I trudged outside again.
Would you believe the moon had risen above the heavy cloud layer?
However, without the tripod it was extremely difficult to get a clear photo. Of the several shots I took, I got only one that was half way decent.
Next time, I won't give up so quickly.
Darn, now I'm feeling itchy.

It was much later for the eclipse here on the east coast. I wanted to see it, but the busy week caught up with me and I was sound asleep through the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great shot!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out fine.
ReplyDeleteThere was nothing to see here.
Didn't even look for it here. Great photo. I see your first comment is spam. I got one of those recently.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to see it.
ReplyDeleteI was too lazy to get this one, but did get one a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI really like your photograph!
ReplyDeleteWow! I stayed in, out of the snow.
ReplyDeleteMy husband got up before 5.00 a.m. but the sky was 9 tenths cloudy so we didn't see it. Next time, maybe . . . (in ten years' time!)
ReplyDeleteIsn't the next one in 2022?
DeleteI was in the air flying home from SLC but it was too early, so I slept through it. Thanks for photos spectacular!
ReplyDeleteYou and Jalna got wonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteYou got a great shot! I gave up on a tripod and my big camera and just took a few with my cell phone, nothing like yours.
ReplyDeleteIt works the same with birds. Patience!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you took the effort to go outside again. The moon was completely covered in my area.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, that's a wonderful shot, Kay! :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks really pretty! Surprised, within the city lights, that you'd be able to get a good view. Thanks for trudging outside. At -5 wind chill, I'm not going out in the Kansas City night! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteSort of a win–lose situation!!!!
