How I was hoping the skies would clear well enough to see last night’s near complete eclipse. I started shooting at around 11:30 and was a bit disappointed initially. It was lovely, but no blood red. Shortly before midnight, about fifteen minutes before the moon was almost fully eclipsed, my camera began to pick up the red hues.
The first photo shows what the Moon looked like at about 11:30 with the clouds swirling about.
August’s Full Moon is most commonly known as the Sturgeon Moon. I love the Cree name, which is Flying Up Moon, as this is the time of year when many young birds learn to fly.
Always look forward to your videos! I set an alarm to watch the eclipse for about 20 minutes. But the video really brought it to life. I was thinking you would post a video!
Thank you Barbara! I noticed you have left several comments. I apologize for not responding! I am not getting notices in my inbox as i used to and will try to figure out why <3
Beautiful photos.
Thank you so much 🙂
