Almost Total Lunar Eclipse

 

Today I worked on campus and walked at lunch with Hardingfele and her coworker, who barely lets either of us get a word in edgewise. We walked in Allen Centennial Gardens, and we saw these cheery marigolds.


My aunt and uncle in Colorado sent photos of some lovely flowers in their garden.




Then after work I went to the Union Terrace to join my Union peeps for a happy hour, and Travalon joined us when he got done with work. He and I stayed until the sunset.

When we got home, the full moon had risen.


We went out to check on it after Night Prayer, and this is what it looked like:


That was about 9:30. Then we went out about 10:20 and it looked like this:


We went out again at 11:15 and it looked like this:



Rich sent me a photo he took.


I tried to take one with my phone, but it doesn't look like much. However, I did get a funny thing on DuoLingo today when I chatted with Falstaff the Bear, who is apparently fluent in Portuguese.


Now it's time for more screenshots from Travalon's train videos. These are all from one train.






















































Still more to come!
