At 12:06 am Hazel woke me up with a text: "Lunar eclipse is happening. Moon's mostly covered. I took some pics". I almost turned over and went back to sleep. I've seen them before. But after a moment I woke up for real and went outside. So Cool!

Those are great pictures of the eclipse! I'm glad you got up. I didn't mention it to you because I figured you were aware. I did look at it about 10:30 and it was just a bright ball. That was so nice of Hazel to call you about it and even nicer to know she was thinking of you.

I just got back from my walk. I'll call you soon. I need coffee!

Yes, she was thinking about me - old grammy not forgotten. :-) I was touched.

Glad that you got up and captured some great photos of the eclipse.

I like both of your mayapple pictures.

I am too. And glad we had a warm night to be outside.

Thanks :-)

Great eclipse photos!

We missed seeing the eclipse here - complete cloud cover, and thunderstorms for most of the night. *sighs* The British weather always does that when there's any sort of astronomical event.

Pennsylvania is traditionally a wet, rainy and overcast place too. I was pleased that we got to see it.

That shot of the moon straight out of your camera is really cool!

At first I wasn't even going to go back in and get a camera. Glad I did. :-)

Oh yay, you got to see it!

We were rained out down in FL, but watched someone's footage of it live on TikTok. Many people seem to have gotten great photos :)

Love those ferns! They are so weird-looking to me when they are still curly and just starting to "sprout".

I'm glad I got to see it. I've seen a couple good ones so far in my life. I think this was the reddest one though. (Probably because Earth's pollution is getting worse!)

I think ferns are very beautiful.
