The Great Eclipse is Almost Here

In ten days we will see the Great American Eclipse.  I am one of those lucky enough to live along the area where a total eclipse will be seen.  It won't happen again in my lifetime, they say!

Our town and surrounding cities are expecting a possible influx of up to 500,000 people from all over the world, starting the weekend before the event!  I can't even imagine that many people crowding into our simple country setting.  There will be fireworks, live music and other events along our waterfront.  I must say...I'm looking forward to all the fuss.

Have a great weekend! 

Blood Moon, Harvest Moon

To see this event was amazing.  I will be in my 70's the next time around.  My good camera needs a new screen, so I was using a different camera than one I am used to.  This is the best photo I could get.  I was down by the river--so many people were there with their children, watching the moon as it glowed red in the skies.  

 I don't know why the camera saw two moons, but it looks kind of neat!  So I'm including it here. 

I was at the Oregon beach when I clicked this picture of the bright harvest moon.  I love the way the light clings to the branches of the trees.

Have a lovely weekend dear Friends!
