I remember driving north on the freeway before the sun came up. Yes, off to shoot pictures of birds before they woke up.
There was an eclipse of the moon that morning. The full moon was shining bright and on my left. I kept glancing out my window as the Earth's shadow began to take a bite out of the shining lunar light.
As I reveled at the show about to begin and see the total eclipse, clouds rolled in and cancelled my ticket to that astronomical event.
The clouds never parted again. However I did get my Sandhill Crane pictures.
