The eclipse began yesterday and that's when I took the photos but it extended well past midnight. The moon was redder than I expected, but I could not get the camera to resolve surface features. The light just wasn't strong enough. I am thankful that the clouds waited and let me see a blood moon eclipse.
The morning got really hot and fairly sticky. Our thermometer read 90
°. That made me determined to get into the pool. But then a ferocious storm roared in with gusts I thought would uproot trees. Hard rain pounded the pavement and the temperature dropped ten degrees. It was all over in 45 minutes so back out I went. The daylily did indeed bloom.
The pool water was 68° which turned my feet red. But I stayed in till something started biting me. I rescued two ladybird beetles and a scarab. Also a small wasp. A pair of red bellied woodpeckers worried about visiting the suet while I was outside. They gave up. I heard a brown headed nuthatch squeak, but didn't see it. Blue jays were back.
