December 11 we had the privilege of witnessing a full lunar eclipse. Mommy "accidentally" found out about it just before supper, and with a quick search learned it was supposed to be visible about 6pm. So we hurriedly made plans to camp out down by the pool to watch.
6 came and went with no sign of an eclipse of the gorgeous full moon. The girls went swimming for an hour. The girls danced to Mommy's iPhone music. Still no sign. Out came blankies and computers.
About 7:45 our patience was rewarded as the earth's shadow became visible on the moon...
Lots of experimenting with camera, phone, video to try capture the event was mostly a failure. We got some interesting effects as the cameras tried to take night photos at maximum zoom though :o)
