Eclipse

We got to see the lunar eclipse Saturday night. No photographs, though someone else in town got a great shot. We were making a trip to the grocery store and Oz was under the weather, so standing out in some cold place wouldn't have done. Even so, we had a great view of the moon on the drive home and I even managed to keep the car on the road. The moon looks cool under weird light. It's only then that I get the sense of the moon as a three dimensional object. Sunlight flattens the moon to a disk, but reflected light from earth or the penumbra gives us spooky moon.

Oz is feeling better, by the way. He did call in sick today, but this morning found him curled up in bed with a Flashman book which he dug out of my library book pile and spent the day reading like an avid little beast. I think this was a Flashman day. Sticking a bookmark in the historical endnotes, Oz said, "That Fraser! He writes this like it's trash, but it's all, like, true."

And, lastly, I'm wondering if the city parks department follows my photostream. On 27 February, I expressed disgust at the appearance of the new parking deck at Rockett's Landing, as viewed from Libby Hill Park. Two days later, some parks department guys planted a shrubbery, as pictured below.

Now the unattractive parking deck is almost completely hidden … at least to people sitting in that bench.
