This photo pretty much sums up our weather lately. Lots of wind and rain and when the sun breaks through, it's patchy and dramatic like this. However, it could be worse - it's not very cold and there's no snow.After my announcement of the eclipse yesterday I discovered that it had actually already taken place. This sort of thing has happened to me before and it gives me the opportunity to air a grievance. When someone says "Tuesday night" I always think of the period of darkness that follows Tuesday daytime. The eclipse so glibly referred to in the media as occurring on "Tuesday night" apparently occurred on what I consider to be Monday night or Tuesday morning since it was the period of darkness that immediately followed Monday daytime. Oh well, I would have missed it anyway...but now I have to wait another 372 years.
Have you been taking pictures of the kings tide? The TC mentioned it on Monday -- refers to the twice annual higher than normal tides, but the one this time of the year is the highest of all.
ReplyDeleteI was down at Dallas beach yesterday taking pics and the water was reaching the very back of the beach. I didn't dare risk taking my dog for his normal walk along the sand -- he likes to run in the water. I figured I'd see him floating off to Port Angeles!
It looks beautiful and moody. Carla
ReplyDeleteI took some shots of the eclipse before it clouded over:

Beautiful shot of dramatic skies. The water looks so cold. If I had to guess, you took this pic at Noon'ish?
ReplyDeleteQuite a dramatic sky.
ReplyDeleteActually you won't have 372 years for the next lunar eclipse. There will be many more before then. But if you insist I will send you a reminder:)
ReplyDeleteAndy, I think it's 372 years till the next lunar eclipse on the winter solstice. :)
ReplyDeleteThis sky is so intense. Perfect shot!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I missed it too, they should have said Tuesday morning. s
