I live for stuff like this, and was bummed when the forecast was to be cloudy. No way to view the event; it was out of my control, so I went to bed, planning to sleep right through, this, that only occurs twice in a millennium--sigh...
At 3:45 AM, I was awakened by my dogs wanting to go out. When I opened the door for them, I realized that it was pretty bright. So I stepped on outside in my nightie, barefoot, to look up overhead. Though still a veil of clouds, I was able to see through it enough, to see the tail end of the eclipse. It was magnificent! I stood and stared as long as I could bear the cold, then ran back in, to the warm and snuggly bed. Satisfied.
Next evening after the eclipse, I was returning home, and happened to look east-northeast. Such an incredible sight! That big full moon was rising over the horizon. It was pumpkin orange, and the biggest moon I had ever seen. I kid you not! As I stood and watched it slowly climb, thin streaks of clouds stretched in front of the glowing orb.
Colors began blending into shades of pinks and grays. I took a picture with my mind....
