Cool shots Ken! We were out this am with the 20X90 binocs. Nice red colour but it was -4 C this morning (24 degrees in the Flintstone scale)

Watched it this morn from 4:45 to 6:00 AM. Cool. And the best part is that the we didn't leave our king sized bed to see it ... the bay window in our BR faces W/NW so it was framed. Just add binocs.

I saw it in Carlsbad, It was pretty cool. I need to work on my long exposure skills, as my pictures didn't turn out well

We watched it at the local beach. There was a guy down at the shore who put on a Hawaiian style fire torch twirling exhibition during totality. Barefoot and shirtless. I guess the heat helped a bit. Good times.

Another interesting moon related pic that a friend of mine from Toronto caught a while back. Jim Chung used a high speed camera to catch this event. It only takes the ISS about a second and a half to cross the surface of the moon.

We had a grand view here on the Snake River Plain. An inversion layer of late had left a haze along the horizon and in the last minutes of the moon's descent (figuratively speaking, of course) it was a vivid orange.

It was a bust down here on the south east cape. Clouds. But hey, it got me up for an extra early morning surf before the north wind filled in. Four foot with an off shore breeze. Make lemonade!
