Bound and determined to see the moon during this most historic event, I darted in and out trying to glimpse the silvery moon through cloudcover. I never saw the warm orange-glow, but still a breathtaking sight.

Mamabeaks - thank you so much. We are supposed to have a white Christmas, so more photos coming!
ReplyDeleteRowan - Thanks and yes, I love my little outside "critters" and feed them year 'round.
Valerianna - That moon was something else:) Thanks for the return blessings.
Beautiful pictures, each unique and magical. My favorite is probably picture of the moon. Breathtaking. But the birds are sweet too. All the best for you. Kisses : *
ReplyDeletesolstice blessings! we had a very cloudy sky, and got peeks and flashes until the moon was wrapped in red- than the whole sky cleared out. magnificent.
ReplyDeleteHappy Yule ;) I love those birds ejeje
ReplyDeleteHappy Yule! I was able to see the moon dressed in her gown of russet earth-shadow, and with her companion Orion blazing beside her. Truly magical. I asked a solstice blessing on us all. WOL8>)

Thanks so much everyone! I've found blogger to be such a warm, inviting and comfortable place in 2010, thanks to you all. And look forward to an inspired 2011!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, my dear! And thank you for your visit. After seeing a recent PBS show on Stonehenge, I'd been wondering how the lunar eclipse was celebrated around there and one of your reader's comments tells me to go to YouTube. I have to see that. Happy New Year!

that moon shot is glorious - and I didn't think those were real birds for a moment - little feathered works of art. Great how you captured them.
ReplyDeleteKirsten - I likewise visited YouTube to see the Stonehenge gathering. How cool would that be?
ReplyDeleteAnd New Year's blessings to you too.
Susan - The bird photo was even taken from my bedroom window. Today, it is a frenzy as we got about 7 inches of snow overnight - a winter wonderland, but I worry about the birds.
