Taken while on our afternoon walk. Long shadows these days -- and only the oaks are still holding leaves.

Gray Skies Continue
Wednesday (12/17) dawned relatively clear, but with a red sky on the horizon. Clouds soon moved back in to cover the sky, but not before Jo captured a photo of the walnut tree in our yard.
Thursday (12/18) was overcast all day. This was the view right after we turned around and headed back home on our afternoon walk.
The grass and weeds at the road's edge were wet with accumulated moisture.

Super Full Moon
 |
| Photo by Jo. |
Our sky was overcast all day Saturday (3/19/11). Our forecast didn't predict any clearing until sometime on Sunday. Jo and I were resigned to not getting to see the super full moon. However, our sky unexpectedly cleared quickly around eight o'clock and there it was. Beautiful!

Lunar Eclipse
Jo and I knew that we wouldn't be able to see much of the eclipse from down in our holler so we drove up to the county road to get a better view. First, we tried a location up by Jerry Joe's hay barn, but it was cold and windy out in the open waiting for the moon to rise. Besides, we had way to much help from several heifers Jerry had on that pasture. They were sure we had something for them to eat.
We moved on down the county road a bit to a little knoll out in one of Jerry's pastures. The advantage here was that we could drive out into the pasture to the top of the knoll allowing us to stay inside the pickup out of the wind while waiting -- much warmer. We still didn't have a true horizon, though. The eclipse occurred so soon after the moon rose that we could not see it. By the time the moon rose above the hill across the way, the total eclipse was over and the moon was beginning to emerge again.
Jo still took a few photos before we headed back to the house. At home, we still couldn't see the moon at all. Had we not driven up to the county road, we would not have been able to see any of the eclipse.
