Total Eclipse of the moon

Up this morning drinking coffee and reading and I got a text message about 6:15am from friend Sean!  "The Eclipse is happening NOW!"
I had read about it but forgot, so I grabbed my camera and went to see what was there. There was a lot there and I captured a bit of it (albeit poorly, in my judgement - all shots were at 3200 ISO and some as low as 1/6 sec shutter speed while I handheld all of them, pressed against the neighbor's flagpole for support!).
Here's a bit of the action - incredibly amazing to witness and you can thoroughly understand why ancient peoples thought the world was coming to an end!
Thank you Sean!
