Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

The Super Blood Wolf Moon from Tacoma

Like many folks, we went outside on Sunday night to see the Lunar eclipse.   Here are a few shots from the back porch





 Is that a Jack-O-Lantern in the sky?

Happy weekend all!

    I went out to see the moon: pretty amazing site, and how nice of the weather to cooperate. It could have been overcast and rainy. The pictures I took didn't measure up though.

    Lucky you! It was completely overcast here. (great shots too!)

    Thanks for these great shots! I particularly appreciate the second and third shots, which convey the ooh-it's-really-happening excitement.

    At midnight (our peak) there was a 20-mph wind and a 20F temperature to match, so one quick gaze from the back steps did it for me. Definitely red; done and dusted.

    You got some decent shots, well done. I didn't bother looking, I knew I'd get to see it in pictures online.

    Excellent photos! We had clouds and the few photos I managed were very poor. It was fun to see the eclipse, though.

    Isn't it amazing that we have this big rock that follows us around? ;)

    It was so cloudy here we couldn't see it. I probably would have slept through anyway. ha... I am not usually up at midnight when it was seen here. I was happy that it was cloudy because I had a good reason to stay in bed. Nice that you got some shots of it.

    Great photographs! We enjoyed watching it hear in Houston on a rare clear night.

    Excellent photos. We saw it up to about halfway between your photos 1 & 2, then it clouded over. At least I get to see what it looked like in Tacoma!

    Great images, Peter! I didn't even go outside to see it because it was too cold here. It's been fun to see everyone's amazing documentations of the event!
