Full Moonrise and Partial Eclipse

Full moon rises last night over the mountains of Joshua Tree National Park







the shadow of the earth falling across the moon about 20 minutes before dawn breaks




and about 20 minutes later










northeast about an hour before sunrise




in a blue sky, just before sunrise




the moon, still shadowed, disappears behind the western hills




What a magical planet...all for the pleasure of the eyes and the soul...
