Blood Moon



Bruce and I got up at 4:15 am this morning to watch a lunar eclipse. 



This was the second full eclipse of the year.


We missed seeing the first due to a dense cloud cover blocking the sky.


This morning the sky was clear. We were treated to a spectacular "Blood Moon" when the eclipsed moon turned a deep blood red as it began reflecting the rising sun.

Can you spot the blood moon in the center of this photo?
We were able to see all but the last few seconds of the eclipse when the  Blood Moon slipped behind the roof tops and trees.
