Following my ambitious goal of posting at least once a year, I thought it was about time to add something to my blog
Last night, there was a total eclipse of the moon which we stayed up to watch. It was a beautiful sight as the moon moved into the earth's shadow. As the moon moved into the darker part of the shadow, the light from the sun was filtered through the earth's atmosphere and caused the moon to glow a reddish color. This photo was taken with a regular point and shoot digital camera as the eclipse was nearing totality. The white object in the upper right of the photo is Jupiter. I am not sure what the star is to the lower right of the moon. If anyone knows, leave a note.
Another thing that we have enjoyed as winter passes away and spring arrives is our collection of daffodils. We have many of them to the side and back of the yard as well as in the front of the house. They add an attractive touch to the yard as well as inside the house where we always have a vase of daffodils on the table.
