Cosmic Photo Challenge: Looking Up

Dale offers the prompt “looking up” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

As it turns out recently there was a total eclipse of the moon. The only problem was it would occur about 5 am. So I set the alarm. The next problem I had not anticipated was clouds, but even the clouds cooperated enough. Then I wondered if my phone could get clear enough images.

Anyway, here are the best of the lot including one from the moonrise a few hours earlier.

Moonrise, but after the moon rose high enough to get past the clouds on the horizon
Early morning. The moon is full, but the sun is casting the earth’s shadow on it.
The clouds are coming in and soon blocked the moon, but I did get a chance to get a near fully eclipsed moon before they did.

I enjoy walking, poetry and short prose as well as taking pictures with my phone.
