The beginning - 3/13/25

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. The forecast called for overcast skies the night of the lunar eclipse. Rain was coming later in the evening. So I took whatever I could before the clouds covered the moon completely.

 

The clouds obscured the moon throughout the evening, but I kept shooting. There were clouds in all the photos. At one point I saw blue and brown colors surrounding the moon.

 

This particular photo shows the moon just starting to get darkened by the Earth's shadow on the lower corner. Fast moving clouds obscured the moon just as this photo was being taken so that's why part of the moon is darker in areas while other areas are bright.
