Lunar eclipse

This past evening I was able to watch a total lunar eclipse.  I can not remember the last time I saw a total lunar eclipse, but it has to have been many years ago.

Unfortunately, the photos I took were not very good, but the eclipse was wonderful to watch, with the moon turning blood red at the totality.

Later in the day I was able to meet a member of one of the cycling forums I belong to, and we went for a long ride (almost 40 miles).  I didn’t get much wildlife viewing in (although we did spot a long string of Canada Geese) winging their way north, but I did have a great ride!  I didn’t get very good photos of the eclipse, but I did get a nice photo of the bikes in the early morning sun.

Riana asked about the taste of huckleberries.  Huckleberries taste like a tart blueberry.  Not everyone likes them (in fact, the woman I went cycling with today told me that she does not like them), but I like them better than domesticated berries.  And of course, the picking of huckleberries is a good excuse to get out there and enjoy a good hike in the mountains.

Huckleberries cannot (or at least, have not yet been) be domesticated.  They sell for around $40 a gallon (around 20 GBP/3.79 litres) because they are wild berries.

 And, still no birds at my feeders.
