October Moon

Clouds blocked the view of tonight's lunar eclipse. Bummer. I went to Beth and Hope's house for dinner, and to deliver and set up Hope's new (but old, an heirloom antique from our family history) bed. She adores it. We sat out in the yard and watched much of the eclipse, got to see about half of it before clouds blocked our view. Hopefully, someone got a great shot of it and will post it somewhere in J-land.

This moon was rising over Piedmont last night as Betty (better known as Scarlett) and I ended our festive day of trekking around in the woods, the water, and old cemetaries. It was the cap on a GREAT day. Thanks, Bets, for an unforgettable day of grins 'n giggles---the kind that only the oldest of friends can have. It needs to happen more often. Love You!!!

Beautiful picture. I was telling Sonny that it was a perfect moon to photograph tonight and then I noticed it was getting smaller ... duh, the eclipse! We enjoyed watching a bit until we got cold.  At that point the fireplace beckoned us.

Beautiful moon, at least you were able to see the moon last night. Great shot!

We were'nt able to see the moon at all last night. IT was rainy and cloudy. I was watching the eclipse on tv, during the baseball game.

we always called it a "lover's moon".  We watched the eclipse from my husband's hospital room as he recovered from surgery.

Even here in New Jersey, the moon had been beautiful in October.  Recently we have had some fog and overcast skies, but some nights the moon has been an inspiration.

Thanks for a lovely photo.  I always enjoy the pictures you share with us.
