I was up at 4:00am to view the Lunar Eclipse and was glad I did it was well worth the wait..I was going to take some pictures but they were not turning out right so I am glad you have some posted as well. Hope you all have a good evening!
HMMMMM.... "One of these things is not like the others; one of these things just doesn't belong..." All of these pics are really beautiful! I wasn't able to see the eclipse this morning and thought I had missed the opportunity totally. Thanks for sharing.
I'm now humming the tune in my head... Thanks for that. ^.^
Wish I'd been able to see it!
My sister works as a security guard and she goes in to work at 6 am. The guard she replaces told her that he had to laugh because a guy leaving the factory came out of the building with a bag on his head, from fear of the lunar eclipse. He must have thought it was going to fry his brain, poor guy!
BTW I love the color on that there Eclipse!
I didn't know anything about the eclipse until chore time today and my mother-in-law mentioned it. Glad to be able to view the pictures from Mike! Topic of flooding, you should see the Pec @ Damascus Landing on Cedarville rd going east from Lena, its a sight when you don't see water that high everyday.
Good stuff! I unfortunately slept right through it. :( Let's hope we don't get any more rain. The flooding needs to GO! Have a good night everybody. -ERIC
I slept right thru it too. Plus I completely forgot about it. It's rough working at 4 or 6pm alot then have to work 7-4. I am so used to sleeping in til about 9 or 10 in the morning.
We did see the eclipse. Even my 11, 8 and 4 year old grandkids got up with me. The older two were quite impressed; the 4 year old asked to go back to bed! I always enjoy the opportunity to watch creation at work!
