Blood Moon

This morning, around 2:43am, Brad gently shook me awake and quietly lead me to the kitchen.  There, standing in front of our south-facing window, as I slowly blinked the sleep from my eyes, we gazed out at this...

Actually, that picture is courtesy of the U.S. Navy.  Our picture looked more like this...

Still beautiful...although it was much more so through your own eye and not the lens of a camera.

We stood watching the "Blood Moon" lunar eclipse for quite awhile (with a quick trip to the frost-covered outside to take the pictures) and then quietly crept back to bed.

The next lunar eclipse will be around October 8, 2014.  It's totally worth blinking some sleep out of your eyes!
