The Sky



Last night there was a total lunar eclipse. I wanted to see this. Starting at about 5:30 p.m. I kept peering outside. I stood in the doorway with my camera and snapped pictures as I watched the clouds move in. . . .


I have always adored the sky in all its facets. The clouds, the colors. The greatness of it and the smallness of me. Such a magnificent splash of color. . . . The next photo has been enhanced with a watercolor filter. . . .

I kept looking for the moon and did not find it until well after the eclipse was over. When I saw her, she was hanging brightly in the sky, and I overexposed the shot (as usual) but I was trying to get the clouds, for the moon was so bright she made the tops of the clouds glow.
