It was beautiful.
I wish I had a camera that could take good pictures of lunar events but i don't.
Thank goodness we have the internet for everyone else's great pictures.

It was chilly out, and clear. We had a good view of the moon.
It was tiny but lovely.
Here's a link to my photo, if you want to see it. It shows the color well.
