At 6am the first signs of the eclipse was visible to the eye.

Just before 7am, a little higher up, at The Bluffs, Redding (CA.)

Do you know why this beautiful moon is called a blue moon? I didn’t know, so I had to read about it. It’s because it’s the second full moon in the same month (January.) It’s more logical to understand why it’s called a blood moon, it was really red this morning. Even more than my photos shows. Night photography have never been my strength, I haven’t done much of it, but this was a special occasion. The experience made it worth getting out early. What did the Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse look like where you live? Did you get to see it?

I hope you enjoyed the view from up here in northern California ❤ May the rest of your day be as beautiful as this morning.

 

Love,

Ms Zen

It’s all about experiences, and the healing power of nature. Life is about choosing happiness. I entered the magic world of photography when I was five years old. My gypsy soul have taken me to many different countries, and definitely taught me to be more humble. I believe that you are what you eat, body and soul. I enjoy growing my own food, and spending time outdoors. Above everything else is my daughter. A Sagittarius loves to travel, have an open mind and, and a philosophical view. It motivates them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life. Sagittarius is extrovert, optimistic and enthusiastic, and likes changes. A lot of that perfectly describes me. The fact that my ancestors, on both parents sides, were vikings, doesn’t exactly lessen my desire to explore. Maybe a slightly more mindful exploring, compared to the average viking. My blog, and my art prints is a results of my (inner and outer) explorations. Love, Maria

      1. Unfortunately I came down with a very bad case of the flu and was sick sick sick 😦 for a few days. Today is the first day I am feeling well enough to get out of bed and get on my computer 🙂

      1. I bet it was stunning. Even though I am surrounded by mountains and trees here, there is this one little wide open park close to my home where you can watch Moon Rise all year round. I just have a point and shoot camera, I’ve had so much fun photographing that rise…

        1. Thank you, it was. That is wonderful that you have your own spot to watch the moon rise. Those special places means so much. I worked at a ranch in the desert of Nevada a few years back. My favorite time of the day was watching the moon rise, as I fed the horses. The moon look huge out in the desert, with few other landmarks.

  5. An experience well worth rising early to see – nice shots! Being on the East Coast, we only had the larger moon to view. I saw both the rising and the setting moon (I usually tend the fire between 5 and 6 am).
