Like everyone else, I was riveted to last night’s lunar eclipse AKA blood moon. I set up a chair in the driveway, and settled in wearing a stocking cap, gloves, warm socks, and a fleece jacket, accompanied by my camera, tripod, cable release, binoculars, flashlight, and a Lisa Gardner thriller. It was so cold! And I was a bit concerned that a coyote ( or perhaps a scorpion) might come by. I snapped photos every ten minutes, and was enjoying myself- but then the moon turned a beautiful orange-ish color, looking three dimensional like a painting of some distant planet. Unbelievable! I took a few (very dark) photos, but mostly just sat gazing at it until I could gaze no more. My photos do not begin to capture what I saw. But that’s okay. I SAW it!

I was quite certain that you would be photographing the moon last night. Thank you! I just wish Lon would have taken a photo of you with your gloves, cap, and equipment!!
How so very cool and I can just image you sitting there in your beautiful driveway. You have a great vantage point to capture this beauty. Good for you and wonderful images Melinda. Way to go, I was in bed.:) being the old person I am.
WOW!!! I tried to stay up, but just got too sleepy.
Sounds like a wonderful night. Love the pictures.
Yes, you do have the best vantage point from your beautiful home – and no clouds – lucky you! But still it takes a lot of stamina to sit up in the dark with coyotes and scorpions lurking! I’m sure it was magical as your photos can attest to.
