Splendor in the Skies…
Fall is here and bringing with the season, cooler temperatures and spectacular happenings in the awesome skies.
Last night, as you know, the Sun, the Earth and the Moon lined up in a row to put on a light show in the sky, and people all around the world looked up to watch the amazing lunar eclipse.
Unless you live under a rock, you know that this eclipse was special. It was called a supermoon because it was one of the eclipses closer to the earth which made it look particularly large in the sky. The last supermoon total lunar eclipse occurred 33 years ago.
Here in our little SW Florida city, our view was blocked by unusual cloud cover… with only quick glimpses, as the moon peeked in and out from under those clouds, as if teasing us….with the promise that there is more to see.
The Captain and I snapped many, many, many (did I say a lot of?) pictures…to find just a few to commemorate the event.
Our children, from other parts of the country, were snapping photos and sending them to us.
Their pics were much clearer due to clearer skies.
Whatever did we do without Smart Phones? 🙂
The Captain and I decided that such a special event last night deserved a special sunrise breakfast this morning. We drove to one of our favorite spots and we were able to see even more splendor in the skies.
Wow! What a beautiful sunrise!
It just doesn’t get any better than this!
Have a great and wonderful beginning to your week, my dear readers.
Life is good. 🙂
hi honey,
I got up several times to see the blood moon, was a little disappointed but that was due to the hype and the expectation that it would be really red! I believe anything!
Your sunrise photos are amazing, particularly loved the vivid one…
It never ceases to amaze me the times there are such vivid colors in the skies. I am always quoting that sailor idiom….Red skies in the morning, sailor take warning. Red skies at night, sailor delight!
Have a great start to your week and I hope you are feeling better.
Hugs
Wow! All of the photos are gorgeous. Especially, the sunrise.
thanks Sandy did you get out to see the blood moon?
Love your photos. We were out in driveway several times looking and visiting with neighbors also viewing.
Thanks, Kari. I didn’t take any photos because it didn’t look that good from my backyard. But I’m curious where that sunrise photo was taken from “one of our favorite spots”?
Not that I would ever get up early enough to see it!!
Blessings, Donna
