There’s not a lot to like about being at the point in life when one’s body refuses to sleep more than five or six hours without a trip to the loo.
But when I got up at around four-dark-thirty there was an early morning lunar eclipse going on.
I guess this is known as a “Blood Moon” from the reddish shadow caused by the earth’s atmosphere. It’s the same thing that causes a red sunset but it seems more spooky.
When I went for a morning walk a few hours later the moon had turned back to its normal color. Kids on the way to school were unimpressed.
I was the only one getting all loony about the big round thing in the sky.
The rest of the world was just going about their day.

Thank you for catching this for me it was raining here and I was so disappointed. I knew I could count on you and the loo:) HUG B
I meant to get up to see that but unfortunately....
Great photos! I sure wish I could figure out how to take night pictures.
I'm right there with you regarding nightly trips to the loo. :)
That moon was awesome! Beautiful shots. It was big and beautiful again last night, and I pulled off the road for a bit to admire it.
You got some beautiful shots! You must have a good camera...I tried to get some, but they didn't turn out. :( Luckily it all happened at a normal hour hear...6:00 or so.
Awesome shots!! You did good! It was hard to see here...all covered up in clouds!
