Eclipse ....as I saw it on Jan. 20, 2019

     
This is how the moon looked as it came up over the Eastern horizon.

As it got higher in the sky, it lost the yellow glow and looked cold and white as the shadow of the earth began blocking out the light.

This is the "Blood Moon" Super Moon, or Wolf Moon, as some call it.  It was extremely hard for me to get this shot at about 11 p.m.  It was very cold outside, the moon was very high in the sky, making it hard to use the tripod and with the absence of light, this was the best I could do.  I didn't stay up to photograph it as the shadow went across to the other side :) 

Here is a composite of the best shots that I got.  I hope you got to see it in person and maybe get better pictures than these.

These Hands

These are Jeep's hands playing a tune on the steel guitar. 

These hands have played music on the 

Guitar, Organ, Piano, and the Fiddle for the past 70 years.

 These are the hands of the 6 year old boy that loved 

me when we were barely starting to school.

 Although we grew up and had good lives apart 

for half a century, we are now back together 

and these are the hands that hold mine each night 

as we say our prayers and go to sleep.

 These are the hands that open doors and pull out chairs for me.

 These hands are strong yet soft as a baby's skin. 

These are the hands that reach for mine when we give thanks 

to God at mealtime for all the blessings He has given us. 

These are the hands of my husband.
