Lunar Eclipse

It's 11:00 PM, and we just looked outside and can still see it - for those who want to run outside and take a peek!
As Papa was closing the shudders for the night, he looked out the window and yelled down to me, "Is there supposed to me a lunar eclipse tonight?"  So, I quickly looked it up on the internet and sure enough, a total lunar eclipse was going to be visible from South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and parts of Australia
  this evening!



But not in North America! Suddenly we felt very far away from home! This further emphasized just how far away we are from our family.



When we first noticed it the moon was completely in the earth's shadow and had a redish glow. Then as we continued to watch a sliver of white light began to appear on the edge as the moon started to move out of the earth's shadow, I ran downstairs, got the camera  and zoomed back up the marble stairs - and for those of you who understand this - Sherman in toe the entire time . . .  and somehow snapped these photos! It was June 15, 2011, Naples, Italy!
