Moon Shots

I missed the total lunar eclipse of the worm moon the other night. My husband had had a very bad day, and I felt like he did not need the alarm going off at 2:30 a.m. so I could get up and shoot photos.

Instead, I woke around 4 a.m. and slipped outside.

I could see the edge of the earth leaving the moon, but I'd missed out on the interesting color.

Later I grabbed the camera and watched as the moon began to set. It was alone in the sky, then dropped down behind the mountain. It reflected the sun back as it slipped from the horizon.

Not the lunar eclipse but that last shot, with the trees, is not bad if I do say so myself.

I was using my Nikon Coolpix B700 to take these photos.
