Blood Moon

On October 8, 2014, we had a lunar eclipse. 

 This occurs when the Moon passes behind the Earth, into the Earth's shadow. There is an alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon. 
The result is a rust colored moon, called the blood moon.
 And the inspiration for the name of this blog.


















And the perfect excuse for taking photos...even at 6AM.
