Snow swirls

This morning, after a less than restful night (see previous post), I noticed interesting patterns of snow blown around on the frozen lake. I thought they looked a lot like the patterns of the waves I was photographing last fall, without the color.

Eclipse

After waiting 372 years since the last lunar eclipse on the Solstice, I was anticipating a spectacular celestial event this morning. Too bad it was cloudy! There were a couple of breaks in the clouds before and during the early stages of the eclipse, and I was able to get a couple of photographs, but by the time the total eclipse occurred the clouds were so thick that the moon was nothing but a faint smudge on the sky (or maybe that was a smudge on my glasses). Anyway, it was nice to get outside at 2:00 and 3:00 AM.
