Blood Moon 2014 Lunar Eclipse

The Blood Moon 

Figured I would give this Blood moon a shot sense we had descent weather and I was still awake after taking care of my daughter.

and here is a quick example of what I got.

Since 1 AD, this Tetrad has occurred on these holy days a total of 7 times. In 2014-2015, it will be the 8th time. It won’t occur again for another 500 years.
Tetrads of four sequential lunar eclipses with no intervening partial lunar eclipses occurs 6 other times in this century, but this is the only time it occurs on the Jewish holy days of Passover and Feast of Tabernacles.
The last time that four blood red moons occurred together was in 1967-1968, probably related to the recapture of Jerusalem by Israel. The time that the tetrad occurred before this was in 1949-1950, probably related to Israel becoming a nation. Before this time, the last occurrence was 1493-1494, probably related to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain.
Since 1 AD, this tetrad has occurred on these holy days a total of 7 times. In 2014-2015, it will be the 8th time. It won’t occur again for another 500 years.
Jewish religious year begins with the total solar eclipse March 20, 2015, then two weeks later the third total lunar eclipse occurs on Passover, April 4, 2015, and then the civil year beginning with the total solar eclipse on September 13, 2015 followed two weeks later by the fourth total blood red moon on the Feast of Succoth, September 28, 2015.

Panorama at Devils Den

Heading out of Devils Den we stopped at this little picnic area overlooking the lake/dam/visitor center and thought this would be the best spot for a Panorama.

Relaxed Woods

After walking just over a mile and half at Devils Den State Park we came across this great looking bench and thought it would look good in HDR also.
