Although it became quite misty, I was able to get some shots of  last night’s penumbral lunar eclipse.  I hope you enjoy  🙂

This is the full moon, known as the Snow Moon, coming up over the mountain, roughly 5:50PM EST 2/10/17

img_3559The full moon with a subtle sign of the eclipse.  Look lower left corner to see the Earth’s shadow.  Approx: 6:25 PM EST 2/10/17

img_3563It was getting very hazy but you can still see the eclipse partially covering the left side of the moon.  Approx: 7:15PM EST 2/10/17

img_3564 While the haze still lingered, you can now see the soft shadow of the penumbral eclipse of the full moon.  Approx: 7:50 PM EST 2/10/17

img_3582The last picture isn’t so great but it still shows the amazing beauty of our celestial bodies.  ❤

Snowcapped mountains

Dazzling, with the daylight sun

Brighten the morning

house-1966824_960_720
Full moon rises,

lights the sky

Waters flowing,

mountains high

Love illuminates,

this small house

Where elfin live,

he and his spouse

Hidden deep,

beyond the crest

They built together,

this sturdy nest

A place that they,

can call their own

Where peace ever reigns,

in this house of stone

I do not understand
Why time passes by
Yet stands still

Why a moment can be fleeting
Yet we are caught in it

Why we hate to love
Yet love to hate

Is it that we are
Afraid of feeling the heartache
Of time gone by
But unafraid of causing the heartbreak
Without a moment’s loss

Afraid of defining our own worth
Within ourselves
But unafraid to define others inadequacies
As they stand before us

How can you say you are living a life
For the moments, the time
The love and the hate
The heartache and the heartbreak
Yet claim to have no life worth living
I do not understand

Under icy snow

There lies a promise, new life

Bursting verdant green
