What Mom Saw- Supermoon Eclipse

Georgia: Sunday night Mom stayed up late.

That is because there was something she wanted to see.

A supermoon eclipse!

We are not sure what this is, but as she was excited, we let

her post some pictures here.

She stayed up for the first half then had to go to bed.

We were already there! MOL!

Full moon 10:10 ADT

(Atlantic Daylight Time)

Start of the eclipse 10.31 ADT

10:57 ADT

Mom says the pictures would be better if she had a tripod

and figured out camera settings better.

All in all, it was fun!

Things Seen Around Our Place

Georgia: Hi friends. It has been a busy week here and we 

have some neat pics to show you.

I must warn you, the other pics are not as cute as my pics!!

 Monday night was a full moon and Mom took this picture 

through a tree in the yard.

 The moon in the sky was surrounded by some cloud.

That did not show up as well as the bright moon.

 That moon has some pretty neat markings,

but I think mine are much prettier !

Mom gets up very early to go to work. She happened to

look out the window and saw that Roxy Raccoon brought

her kits with her for breakfast! This was the first time 

Mom got to see the babies.

The sun was not quite up, so Mom was not sure if she could

 get decent pictures. She had to lighten them  so you can see, 

but they are not too blurry. These critters are kinda cute.

When it started to get lighter, Roxy called her kits and 

they headed home. There are lots of trees around here.

They seem to like our place,just like Stray Kitty.

Hope you all have a fun weekend !!

The BIG Moon

This past weekend,Mom said we had a very big moon!

It is called a  perigee moon.

Mom says that it is closer to us and  very big, like my eyes!

Mom took some pictures.It was pretty cloudy and 

she had to wait  for breaks.Good thing she did as we have

 had foggy nights since, and rain is in the forecast.

The moon peeking out from the clouds.

Almost looks spooky!

Big and round.

Mom said the cloudy moon reminded her of a poem

by Alfred Noyes called "The Highwayman"

Especially the first stanza:
THE wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, 
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, 
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, 
And the highwayman came riding— 
Riding—riding— 
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
