We were all excited about the lunar eclipse and I told the boys I’d wake them if the sky was clear. I woke just after 3am to find a clear sky with a bit of cloud lightly rolling by the moon. I tried my darndest to wake the boys but to no avail. Ahhh, to sleep so well!
I grabbed my camera and took some shots. At first our cat, Gypsy, was sitting in the window and it made the perfect image – a cat silhouetted against the moon! As soon as I crouched to get the shot she jumped off of the window sill! Guess she was trying to break the black cat and full moon stereotype! 😉
I managed to make a short gif which is easier than posting 13 images over time. (How ironic that I just happened to edit down to 13!) It’s a little wonky as I wasn’t using a tripod and the first couple of shots were from inside the house and the rest were outside, which is why there is a bit of a jump in progression. The gif is on a loop so you may have to wait a moment to see it from the beginning.
How timely it was that once the moon was fully eclipsed the cloud settled in heavier and I saw it no longer. Nonetheless, it is always a bit of a magical experience!
That is so great, Tam! Happy you got to see it.
The gif is great!
Thanks, Dawn! I was thinking about you getting up near the time it was ending, wondering if the sky was clear for you and you could see anything on your morning perch up in the yard!
thanks for sharing..
How awesome! We couldn’t see it, too many clouds in the sky 🙁 Thanks for sharing.
That is great! Lucky you, I couldn’t see anything so thank you for sharing.
