Lunar Eclipse

The last lunar eclipse for until 2015 happened this morning. I got up at 3:00 am, got ready and headed to Morro Bay. I envisioned a time lapse series with the moon setting behind Morro Rock. As I got to Cuesta it was foggy and my plan was a bust. I turned around, headed over the grade to north county. As the moon went into eclipse, the sky got hazy and this was my best effort. 

The clouds hurt the eclipse but not the sunrise an hour later. This was taken at Sextant vineyard in Templeton.

Sue and I took a road trip to the Southwestern corner of Arizona last week. We had planned to drive up through Phoenix to Sedona, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon.We discovered that a blizzard had closed Interstates 17 and 40, our planned route. Time to regroup. We decided to follow the Colorado River north on Highway 95. I haven't been on that road in over 30 years!  Some things are exactly the same and some things have changed unbelievably.
