| Up before dawn to witness the lunar eclipse. It's been 150 years since there was a blue blood supermoon and an eclipse, and the next won't be for another 19 years. |
 |
| Off to a good start! |
 |
| Positioned just right for the eclipse coming high above the mountain and an open view in our pasture. |
 |
| Fifteen minutes later . . where did it go?? So we jump in the car, need to get to higher ground, hit the grade to the mountaintop in Saluda 10 minutes away. |
 |
| Pull off the first and only exit, pull into a parking lot and can't believe it, there's a mowed path going up toward where the moon is! |
 |
| NOOOOO!!!! How can there be one billboard on the whole grade,and the moon is setting behind it? Look closely, you can see the eclipse starting to happen. I wanted to cry! |
 |
| If only I had had my camera out and ready on the drive up, at one point the moon was so close, so big, and the eclipse was halfway. At least on the way back there was a beautiful sunrise. |
 |
| Better planning next time for a lunar eclipse, which should have gotten the same respect as the lunar eclipse we witnessed last year. Oh well, live and learn! |
