Blood Moon SEP 2025

 Some Before and  After Images

It all started with climbing upstairs to the roof, hauling camera gear around six PM.

A few minutes before 7 PM, the moon appeared.

It's been a while since the last time we've seen a full moon on this island.

Clouds or rain have kept the moon hidden over the past few months.

This time, a power line ran across the bottom of my photo.

Cropping it out was easier than Photoshopping. So, that's what I did!

Blood Moon Peaks at 2:09 PM

Not so sure about what most 70-something folks are doing at that hour. I sleep!

Here's a shot taken with a 100mm lens from the back door of my house.

Time: 0348

Parting Shot

At 6 AM, the moon was setting over Ishikawa when I took this photo.

From the bypass on HWY 329, the dog pulled me uphill so I could nap at home.

End of Full Moon story.

It's Almost Spring

 Okinawa Got Warm

To long-term residents of the island, anything below 70 degrees is freezing.

We get temperatures in Celsius. 70 F would be over 21 C degrees for me.

Sumba Falls

Here's an iPhone 13 image shot while traveling up north near the end of February.

It felt so warm, I took my jacket off and left it in the car.

For folks back in NY  State (where it snows) I screenshot this chart.

It was 20 degrees C at this waterfall. That's 68 degrees Fahrenheit!

Well, the warm temperatures lasted a few days. Now, I'm wearing a jacket again.

But, the weatherman says this week it will get warm again.

Springtime is coming!
