Fesrina Lente is a Latin phrase which means make haste but slowly. This morning I hastened to see the lunar eclipse, but I was too slow. And clouds had slowly moved in during the night so I wouldn't have seen anything. I might have chartered an airplane to rise above the clouds but it was too late for that.
I've seen lunar eclipses before. I remember my first from the back porch of my childhood home. It was slow moving and I didn't appreciate its awesomeness. I watched TV during the eclipse and checked on the moon during the commercials.
My cousin Liz in Chicago reported she had clouds moving in. My brother Steve said he expected clear skies and sent this photo of the moonrise on Monday evening.
Steve was proud that he had captured the setting sun in a nearby stop sign.
He sent this picture this morning showing where the eclipse had been. Steve is a bit of a joker, but it's a nice photo nevertheless.
