Not sure if the kitties shall get to see it.....the weather looks hot, steamy, and possibly stormy here this weekend. But for those who are able to see it through clear skies, it promises to be a grand Saturday evening for the lovers of La Luna. Courtesy of Accuweather.com.... The Extreme Supermoon....

I'll keep an eye on it but it might just be stormy here too. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

As I said, it does not look good for the kitties' viewing right now. If anybody is so inclined, it should provide a grand photo opportunity. It would be purrfect if somebody can get some nice shots and post them here for those of us who may not be able to witness the event purrsonally. Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

I will be out for the Summer Solstic Party in Santa Barbara, but did anyone notice that the "Supermoon" happens several times a year and that it is not noticiable to the naked eye? Here is the diffrence guys. It's not a spectacular event. Check you local tide pools. That is were the impact is most visable. |

It was up here at around 21:30 in central Alberta. It is up here now but the best time to shoot it was lost in cloud. |

No luck for the kitties here... Started to cloud over and rain just about when the moon started coming up over the horizon. It was very big and tinted orange from the haze before it became obscured by the clouds. Looks like it's gonna rain all night long. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
