Eclipsed

Beginning

On Wednesday, I had a full day. Walked to school--with the jazz festival in full swing there was no parking on campus, graded, taught, graded, walked home, stuffed some dinner in my face, graded, went in for a costume fitting and then headed off to the Wednesday night concert. But it was also the night of the lunar eclipse, and I was lucky enough to have some time to shoot bits of hit here and there.

The photo above was taken from our front yard, from the only spot where I could kind of get a shot. The house and tree across the street blocked it pretty effectively from view from anywhere else in the yard. But you take what you can get, so I took this. And then I took my camera to campus with me. I got there a bit early and was lucky enough to snap these from my parking spot.

Then I headed into the costume shop and tried on corsets and ugly dresses. I have pictures of me *in* the ugly dress I'll be wearing, but it's ugly. So I'm not sharing it with you here.

After the fitting, I wandered back out into the cold where I chatted with a friend while we watched the moon disappear. And I took this:

You certainly caught better pictures than I did. It was beautiful to watch though.

Those are lovely pictures!

But was the dress uglier then the really hideous homemade looking jedi knight get-ups we wore for the Scottish play?

Thank you both. It was amazing to watch, even standing in the cold.

Heather - Let me just say that it's denim, high-necked, and that the corset needs to be cinched a damn sight tighter before I will look like anything but a sack of flour wrapped in denim. It flattens out all of my curves, and completely takes away my waist. Even with the corset.
