Winter 2025 has been spectacular for photographing from my front yard and in some cases bedroom window. The planets Jupiter, Saturn and Venus were visible at times and capping it off was the lunar eclipse on March 14, 2025. On the other hand we had a lot of rain and heavy overcast but not much snow.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to catch the full blood moon on March 13-14. The evening started off fine, I shot the full moon rising in clear skies at 9:06 pm an hour before the eclipse was to begin. An hour later high clouds were obscuring the moon and the forecast called for cloudy all night. So went to bed, but had a camera in my bedroom just in case. Woke up just at the right time at 1:57 am to catch the last moments of the eclipse with only a very light haze on the moon.
