Where Did The Moon Go?

19th May, 2022 Where Did The Moon Go?

Sunday night, I had my camera all ready to go. I was excited about getting to see this lunar eclipse and maybe, just maybe I might get some good photos. Battery was all charged and everything. And then….the clouds rolled in. Nice thick storm clouds. Bleh. Well, okay, we need rain badly here, so I guess I’ll just have to wait for the next eclipse. Except that we didn’t get any rain. Oh no….not us! The storms stayed just a bit North of here, one city up; they had nice lightning and thunder and rain. All we got were some very very minor sprinkles that lasted, uhm, 1/2 second, and that was it! ? But, do you think the clouds would go away? Not on your life! So, no, I didn’t get to see the eclipse, and my little nifty camera and tripod did not get to see the dark of night sky with a gorgeous blood red moon hanging in it, either. ::: sigh :::

HOWEVER, a friend of mine in North Central Florida was able to get a few photos, as she was fighting the clouds, too. [I’m jealous, you know!] She sent me three and I asked her if I could post them here and she kindly gave her consent.
