Blood Moon Over Mexico
Before I went swimming tonight, I set up my camera and tripod. My first view of the eclipse was in my pool. Palm Tree Silhouettes in front, the moon which had just come out of the cloud cover had just a sliver of shadow. I came in to dry off and went back out to take these shots. It was strange, because I kept getting an illusion of a pink cloud floating over the moon. It was granular–a bit like like pink undissolved Jello powder floating in water. There was definite movement. Perhaps it was a cloud layer reflecting the red of the moon. I’m curious if anyone else had the same experience It was when I had the most magnification on my zoom–nearly 120 I think.
At any rate, palm trees water and the moon in eclipse create a sort of magic that may have just prompted a type of hypnotic illusion. I look forward to hearing of your experiences and seeing your photographs.

So beautiful, Judy. I am sorry to have missed it. I went outside hoping to see it, but we had some earlier tonight and it was cloudy and I couldn’t see the moon. WAAAH! Thanks for sharing these pics.

Here in Northeast America, we saw it very well, and son-in-law out in the Midwest took photos, which I haven’t yet seen, but yours are gorgeous!
