Did you know that this weekend you'll be able to witness a rare celestial event that last occurred in 1982?
On Sunday evening, the supermoon will enter the Earth’s shadow to produce a “blood moon.” This is a dramatic moment when the moon appears to turn a reddish colour.

This early morning I went to Stanford University to experience the rare celestial trifecta: A supermoon (14% bigger and 30% brighter than usual), a blood moon (lunar eclipse where the moon is in the shadow of the earth), and a blue moon (the second full moon in a month) at the same time. I used the water fountain to turn the blood moon into a comet. I captured it with a 600mm Tamron lens.
I processed a balanced HDR photos from a RAW exposure, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and reduced the color saturation. I welcome and appreciate your critical feedback.

Blood Lily - taken at Mercer Gardens. Could just be descriptive of the heat in Texas when you a/c goes out. Not entirely restored a/c - the coil had burst and that must be what blew the compressor. Maybe tomorrow. So back to the bonus room over the garage tonight - celebration red was premature.
Explore: 09 JUNE 2008 - Thanks to all for your visits, comments, favs and invitations! Today I can celebrate! A/C should be running by the time I get home from work!
It was one of those bewildering evenings. The sun had rolled over as a ferrous nugget unable to defy the horizon’s magnetism. Low-hanging misty clouds were silently rattling, and via them, the wind was bending the sky groundward. Thus touched by the sky, the earth cindered in places as if it was love-scalded. The scalding blistered noticeably on the mighty sand dunes, which–somewhat dwarfed by and intertwined with the Sangre de Cristo mountains behind them–stood like poems on fire. Rishabh and I waited by the roadside and watched the light flow like a river across this dry landscape.
Later that evening, I wrote and lamented to a friend, “[The sunset] was gorgeous, mesmerizing almost... worth losing one's mind to, but utterly brief.” Yes, the experience was transient, but paradoxically, while ongoing, it felt as if I was allowed to remain in it forever… rebirthing in it, glowing in it, braiding faint lights of my interiors with the brighter ones outside. Defined lazily, it felt like a momentary unison with everything mightier than me. But lunacy stricken, I wondered if such luminous experiences are more than mere resonance with the universe. Beyond our memories, are these higher-order encounters also encoded in our blood, and are thereby inherited by sons from fathers and mothers across many generations? If so, the blood I carry in my veins has cumulatively seen several more of these bewildering evenings than I myself have. Is that why those moments felt eternal? Is that why I perceived a connection to the unknown? And found solace?
These are crazy thoughts, I know. After all, as I said, it was one of those bewildering evenings.

Super blue blood moon. It was such a surreal scene with the calm San Francisco Bay water reflecting the city, and moonlight during the lunar eclipse. The Sales Force Tower is kind of growing on me!
This is my take on last night's eclipse here in Sedona. This was the moon about a half hour before totality...right as it rose above Cathedral Rock.
Blood Super Moon during a Lunar Eclipse on the night of a Super Moon, 9/27/2015 in Borrego Springs California. The moon was in the full shadow of the earth making the moon appear Red (Blood Color).
A rare 'blood' Aurora fills the sky across the Northern Rockies. Taken just this past weekend, red or ‘blood' aurora’s are created by oxygen atoms at an altitude of between 200–500 km (120-300miles) colliding in a high energy state and emitting red light at 630 nm. In contrast the more common green aurora are oxygen atoms at a lower altitude of 70-200km (40-120 miles) and lower energy state emitting light at 557.7 nm. In most cases to see a red aurora you need an extremely dark sky and to be looking from a lower latitude across the top layers of a distant high latitude aurora. When the aurora is closer or overhead, the subtle high altitude red fringe is drowned out by the intensity of the lower altitude green aurora. In this shot the green aurora is also visible spilling over the mountains however it has taken a more yellow hue as it’s mixed with the light of the red aurora from behind it. If you look at the high resolution version of this shot you can see 7 shooting stars in the time it took for this 20 second exposure, although 6 of them are quite faint. The shot was taken at a latitude of 55 North looking across the rugged Hart Ranges of the Northern Rocky Mountains which form part of the Pine Le Moray Provincial Park. British Columbia, Canada

I didn't manage any even remotely sharp photo of last night's blood moon as in the city it was hardly visible and it turned out to be impossible to focus correctly. The blood moon would probably have been a bit easier to photograph outside of the city because all the bright city lights didn't really help. This photo is about the best I could get, quite blurry but it shows the blood moon. It was taken by the end of the total lunar eclipse when the moon was already beginning to leave the umbral shadow of the earth.

Got up early to photograph the blood moon. The moon appears substantially more red in the camera than it did to the naked eye although it was still a fascinating thing to witness.
The shot is not as sharp as I'd hoped. I realised afterwards that at high magnifications the long exposures were causing motion blur as the moon was moving during exposure (you can see the trails of a couple of stars in the top left). This combined with a bit of atmospheric blurring meant that this 2 second exposure was about the best I could manage.
The first total Lunar Eclipse on Earth since 2022. This happened 2 nights ago while you slept, and in those early hours of March 13-14, 2025, I walked through my gardens and woodland listening to my resident Tawny and Barn Owls, squawking Pheasants and crying Foxes. With a steady hand, patience and a very muddy tripod, I thought I'd bring you the Blood Red Moon.... Everyone has seen a perfect round moon, so I cropped in to bring you the craters and redness creeping around as the Eclipse took place...

My Ozark wildflowers book said that blood root blossoms usually last just a day. I had to go back to the Springfield Nature Center with the good Sigma macro lens to do it justice. Of course it's a different flower and perspective.
Today, 11th November, 2014, I visited 'Blood Swept Land and Seas of Red' at the Tower of London. The final ceramic poppy was 'planted'. Volunteers have spent months installing 888,246 hand-made poppies - each representing a British and Commonwealth soldier who died during WW1. It is thought about five million people have visited the artwork by ceramic artist Paul Cummins and theatre designer Tom Piper.

Or blood glucose. Same thing, except blood sugar seems more graphic, more like the admonishment I need. It's a daily ritual for me. Up to this point, I'm still on oral medication. No insulin injections yet. This particular test resulted in a number that's the highest my blood sugar has ever been. I'm not sure why I'm still alive to write this! Just kidding. I'm out the door for my daily walk as soon as I upload this shot. Get that number down, Mike.
(for Macro Mondays, Theme—My Daily Routine; I used a similar shot for another group—Poetography—about a year ago and paired the shot with a poem ("Glucose Self-Monitoring") you might like. You may see the photo and a link to the poem here.)
This is a small local workshop where pig blood is prepared for delivery to the shops and restaurants in central Bangkok. This specific workshop is over 80 years old and uses the same cooking method as in the old days. There are large wood fired vats where the blood is cooked and prepared. It’s really like a bygone era. The only light available is from a hole in the roof, and the burning wood fires.
From 'A Son of the Middle Border' by Hamlin Garland, 1914:
Around us, on the swells, gray gophers whistled, and the nesting plover quaveringly called. Blackbirds clucked in the furrow and squat badgers watched with jealous eye the plow's inexorable progress toward their dens.
The weather was perfect June. Fleecy clouds sailed like snowy galleons from west to east, the wind was strong but kind, and we worked in a glow of satisfied ownership.
Many rattlesnakes ("massasaugas" Mr. Button called them), inhabited the moist spots and father and I killed several as we cleared the ground. Prairie wolves lurked in the groves and swales, but as foot by foot and rod by rod, the steady steel rolled the grass and the hazel brush under, all of these wild things died or hurried away, never to return. Some part of this tragedy I was able even then to understand and regret.
At last the wide "quarter section" lay upturned, black to the sun and the garden that had bloomed and fruited for millions of years, waiting for man, lay torn and ravaged.
The tender plants, the sweet flowers, the fragrant fruits, the busy insects, all the swarming lives which had been native here for untold centuries were utterly destroyed. It was sad and yet it was not all loss, even to my thinking, for I realized that over this desolation the green wheat would wave and the corn silks shed their pollen. It was not precisely the romantic valley of our song, but it was a rich and promiseful plot and my father seemed entirely content.
