Then, we headed back inside, enjoying dinner with some friends. Before we knew it, the lunar eclipse was just about to start. As you can see from the faint halo around the moon, there was still a lot moisture in the air and thin clouds.
The first half of the eclipse was beautiful but the view was hampered a bit by clouds. Then, when the moon was in total eclipse, the clouds started to clear. The moon was dark enough that stars were even visible!
Then, before we knew it, one side of the moon started to light up as our shadow on it started to shift.
This is my favorite photo of a coyote that I've ever taken. He was standing in a shaft of sunlight early one morning. The world around him was still dark but he was lit up by the incredible warm sunlight.
beuatiful!!! the mama missed it although we acted very lunatic...
ReplyDeletebeautiful coyote and you catured the red moon perfectly. it was so bright white yesterday and today at 4 am we could see the bottom of the pool. no flashlight needed in the back yard for early am potty time
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! We'd been up early for a scent trial that day and couldn't stay up late enough to see the moon, so thank you for sharing your pictures of it.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful pictures of the moon! It was too cloudy here in Florida to see it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such beautiful pictures of this lunar eclipse. Around here it was still snowing hard so we didn't have a chance to see it. We have coyotes around here too but have never seen them. We hear them howling at night so we know they are around.
ReplyDeleteOh my word..............what gorgeous photos of the Super Blood Wolf Moon. You gotta love that name and the coyote is quite handsome.

We were sleeping when it happened, but we have seen another type of blood moon before and it was quite pretty! The coyote is gorgeous, BUT, we have them wandering in our neighborhood and that is creepy. Early mornings like before 6am, I will start to go nuts and Mom looks out and will see one or more going down the road and across yards. They don't seem to have a huge fear of humans around here which we are not happy about.
ReplyDeleteWow your moon shots are incredible! Being in the city, my view is always obstructed to not even try to capture an image. Thank you for sharing yours!
ReplyDeleteSome incredible shots. We had a storm that night so we couldn't see the moon. Thanks for sharing your shots.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. Scritches to the pups. ♥

ReplyDeleteSadly our skies did what our skies always do... though I did manage a couple of (very hazy) shots of the early stages. I watched streaming from Griffith Obs - though of course, it was the wee small hours of the morning here (as in between 3 and 5 of the a and m!
I love the coyotye shot - but find it reminds me, facially, of a fox more than a wolf. YAMxx
Your photos are just gorgeous and the coyote is one very handsome boy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a name! And what a moon.
ReplyDeleteWe just knew you would have some fabulous photos of the blood moon. Did you not hear The OP Pack howling at the moon? :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing photo of the coyote - you should frame that one.
That moon is amazing, we had downpours so we couldn't see a thing. That is a great photo of the coyote!
ReplyDeleteWe also had pouring rain during the eclipse, so I am loving seeing it through your lens!!
ReplyDeleteLove these moon shots and glad you went out. The moon still hung big over the western peaks this AM.
ReplyDeleteoh my you live in the best place to photograph that! But....I am NOT a fan of coyotes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos! We didn't stay up to see it, since there were a lot of clouds and we weren't sure how much we'd see. We were watching the moon earlier that evening though....the clouds were flying by it at high speed and it was lighting up the tops of the trees. It was so beautiful!

We have lots of coyotes and other predators in the woods where we live which is why we are indoor kitties. The Female Human loves all the furry critters that come around our house.
