| No really, this isn't a blob in the sky! It's the lunar eclipse. |
This morning I woke early (or rather early for my
sabbatical since during a regular semester I wake at 4:30am) and headed out to
watch as the Earth moved between the sun and the moon. I watched a full lunar
eclipse with a ring of red fire. Okay, I’m probably being a bit dramatic but
there was a red hue and it was beautiful. Even more exciting!!! While watching
the moon eclipse, a BAT (gweee!) swooped down in front of my face and landed in
a nearby tree! My fella witnessed it and gave me a big hug! At dusk, I have
waited patiently for bats and haven’t seen or heard a peep. I haven’t noticed
them when heading out in the morning because I’m usually hurried by my commute.
So, I have bats!!! Which is super good because wow do we have mosquitoes this
year. Yesterday while I was pruning, I smacked five of the suckers on my legs.
I took some pictures with my iPhone but you know how
that goes. Nothing in nature can truly be captured in photography… or at least
not by me.
That is pretty cool :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had gotten a better picture though.
DeleteI really wanted to wake up and see it, but alas I slept through it. cool shot, even with the iphone.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if this link will work but someone in my town took a much better picture https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1473835896228445&set=a.1415021485443220.1073741828.100008061457198&type=1&theater
DeleteI got up for it too- the only pics that turned out were my long-exposure shots of constellations taken when it got dark. All my eclipse shots were too blurry. It was still cool, though.
ReplyDeleteMy friends know that I still have disc film (never developed) from my 7th grade graduation in a drawer. I'm so grateful to digital photography... and phone pictures or I wouldn't have anything documented :p
