The lunar eclipse was visible here from 2 am to 4 am in the early hours of January 31. I got up at 2 and caught a glimpse of a half-obscured moon between clouds. A bit later – completely overcast.  Disappointed but not discouraged! The moon was still mostly full that evening, so we watched from Lanikai Beach with the Mokulua Islands as a backdrop. We were really surprised how red the moon was as it rose!

Following is a series of photos I took that evening. Too bad I didn’t get a picture of the rat that ran over Tim as he laid on a blanket drinking wine! It is now a blanket with red dots…. Almost paradise I guess.
