Eclipse

OK, I realize I'm probably only one in a ga-zillion to watch the lunar eclipse tonight and snap a few pics, but I gotta post these grainy babies!! Sure the air was chilly; sure I'm still recovering from the flu or something; sure our backyard was probably not the best viewing location... no matter. Here they are, straight from my camera for your viewing pleasure.

Interesting tidbit... it seems that the moon turns sort of orange during a lunar eclipse because the light from the sun that is hitting it passes through the earth's atmosphere which filters out the blue spectrum. Interesting, eh!?!
