Beaver Blood Moon

I rose at 4:45 a.m. this morning to look at the lunar eclipse. I took over 100 photos, but most of them blurred. My camera simply isn't that great for taking pictures in the dark, and when the moon is eclipsed, it's dark.

While I was outside, around 6 a.m. I stopped taking pictures and stood watching the moon, listening to the neighbor's rooster crow, and saw a meteor fall past the edge of the moon. It looked a piece of the moon fell off!

I was incredibly sorry I wasn't taking photos then, but sometimes the memory is good enough. I'd rather have seen that in person and not through the lens, I think.

Here are some of my better pictures.

Used the star trail feature on the camera, just for fun.
