What are you doing on the computer? Go look at the moon!

(Although it is rapidly clouding up here in upstate NY. Naturally.)

I can see it great, just went into full eclipse. Unfortunately, I'm not getting good pics of it.

Below is the best I was able to snap.

Yeah Kristy she is going through her "dark" phase, my older daughter did this too. She is really into the moon, vampires, werewolves and got one of those really weird "emo" hair cuts. Her sister says she is "such a poser" I had to ask what that meant. I don't know if I will live through their teen age years. Oh the things I put my parents through, and I was the good one. :) Mary

A voice from the past, Ann, raising a toast to you! I haven't been on for a number of months except to lurk now and then for a few minutes. I miss the swaps! I need to come back and post so I can play again! Ann, you always inspire me with your photos--they are the first things I look for when I'm scolling through. What a gift you are to all of us! Lifting a glass of ice water (soon to be a G&T) to you! (It's 7:20pm here--the eclipsed moon is well over the yard arm!)

Here's a pic of our new display without tops yet. These are the MDF standard construction. Anglophilia is right...they are very heavy! Really only person who benefits from the plywood upgrade is your installer...his back will thank you. :-) Photos below show MDF and also a couple of the drawer options: standard wood or laminate in a laminate gray metal finish.

I envy you, bengardening. It's not going to be good here, I'm afraid. I can just see the glow of the moon through the clouds. And it's not supposed to clear before total eclipse. Darn! If anyone gets a good picture of the blood moon, or even a partial blood moon, please post!

It is a pretty big moon - I saw it before the clouds moved in.

I was wrong - can see it through light, patchy clouds. It's almost full.

Actually, that's a good pic, Texas! Thanks! The astronomy gods have smiled on Rochester, and the clouds have parted just at the right time. Ours is full right now, heading for peak at 10:47 EDT. To add to the magic, while we were looking at the moon, a shooting star went by.

I set an alarm for 8:00 p.m. CDT so we wouldn't miss the start at 8:07. We kept going back and forth watching it cover until 9:15 (our normal bedtime is 9:00). We watched it until it was fully covered and just starting to wane with high-powered binoculars. Not a cloud in the Kansas sky, which was pretty great. The neighbors across the street are in their 80's and they were out in their yard watching it. Hubby took the binoculars over so they could have a closer look. Such fun.....

I went outside around 9:50 last night eastern time and it was spectacular! But I didn't stay out long- i was also trying to watch the CSI movie, which I found equally interesting. .

Great photos! I was outside last night watching it and seriously being sad I wasn't up at the place I'm building, watching it on a nice deck chair. I had to go stand down on the sloping driveway to watch it -- which doesn't sound like a disadvantage but in the dark I lose my "righting reflexes" and need a walking stick and flashlight to keep from falling or worse.

It was really cool.

I went back in at 11 pm (eastern).
