What fun! You got great color. Mine were over-exposed, so washed out. Good job!

An interesting sequence, Wally, and nicely captured. My aversion to late nights is even greater than that for early mornings, so I admire your dedication.
My very best wishes to you and Gini – – – – Richard

Thank you, Richard.
Not happy with the results, but I will likely try again in the future. Lunacy is one of my best traits.

Thank you. Got a little bit lucky.
Now, if I just had a bigger camera. And could learn how to focus. And if the moon weren’t so far away …..

What great photos! My husband and I were driving home that evening and saw this orangeish-red moon, large in the sky, in all its glory.

Your shots of the moon are really nice, and especially appreciated since I didn’t see the eclipse itself. I’ve never noticed it before, but the dark spot at the uppermost left looks rather like a ginko leaf.
Those Moonflowers are just as beautiful. How large are they? They look like a flower I’ve found in east Texas, but that one’s only an inch in diameter, and my sense is that these are larger. I looked at the USDA map, and your Moonflower does show up in Texas, but only in four counties. Of course we have other Ipomoea species, but this one’s a special delight.

Thank you!
The moon photos were, to me, disappointing but decided to post them anyway.
The Moonflowers, or Tropical White Morning-glory, average six to eight inches in diameter. I need to carry a ruler with me as I feel certain we’ve seen some larger.

Magnificent. Cloudy here so I couldn’t see it. And have never captured a shot of the moon as good as these…

Thin clouds in the upper atmosphere didn’t help, but then I look for any excuse when an image isn’t sharp!
