280 -- Eclipse of Blue/Red/Sup[er Moon

This morning I got up at 6:15 in order to be out to the Belton Lake Dam to watch the amazing rare moon that we were getting today--a blue moon because 2nd in the month, a red moon, an eclipse, and a super moon being as close to earth as it gets.  While getting dressed, I looked out the bathroom window and could see that we had cloud cover, but a couple of times a partial glimpse of the moon peeked out and it really was bright, but only for a moment and then it was hidden again.  I took off to the lake and found others there before me also looking toward the west to see this natural phenomenon, and just like me, all they could see was clouds.  So I sat there in great hopes that the clouds would part, but they didn't.  The only eclipse that happened in Belton this morning was a total eclipse of the moon by the clouds overhead.  But I count it as a first that I got up and got out there to try to see it!  I did take a few pictures of a pink sky over the lake, but no moon in sight.  Just try to imagine it behind that pink horizon!
