The lunar eclipse

My camera bag was packed "just in case" I happened to wake up between the wee hours of 3 and 4:30am. Sure enough, Spencer starts talking in his sleep about 3:30....something about nice dogs and good girls...hubba, hubba. I dragged myself out of bed and drove up the road until I had an unobstructed view of the moon. A myriad of stars twinkled above, the trees were silhouetted against the deep blue sky, and the moon was a brilliant orange with the shadow of the earth across most ot it. It was beautiful and unfortunately, the picture doesn't do it justice...
