lenten moon

img_7176.jpg

The last full moon of winter is called the Lenten Moon according to my calendar. If you were far enough east perhaps you saw it fully eclipsed this evening.

This photo was taken without a tripod. Someday I hope to get one so I can take a good shot of the moon reflecting across the lake.

By the way, this week will mark the fourth anniversary of this blog. It’s still fun after all this time. A special thank you to my readers who help keep it that way.

    We saw that beautiful orange moon too, though not over so picturesque a setting. Nice shot.

  2. Great capture. We all ran out to see the eclipse, too, but it was quickly obscured by clouds.

    I heard about the lunar eclipse this morning, so I missed it, but several bloggers have posted pictures. And congratulations on your four years of blogging!

    Awesome shot! I wrote the date/time of the eclipse on my calendar but totally forgot about it. Don’t you just wish you had a 5000X zoom on nights like that?

    Happy 4th!

    My 4 year anniversary was last month, and I totally forgot! Time does fly when you are having fun doesnt it?

    We had clouds, and were too far west/North to see it anyway.

    Congrats on your 4 year blog anniversary……….

    I had hoped to catch the eclipse but, unfortunately, we had cloudy skies here in St. Louis - no sun, no moon!!!!!
