Lunar Eclipse

Took Shinryu out to see his first lunar eclipse.  Being just under 2 months old, he was ... unimpressed.  I, However, thought it was pretty cool.  Apparently this was the last full lunar eclipse until 2014, so i'm really glad i had a chance to see it.   I can tell Shinryu about it later.  And in 2014 he might be old enough to appreciate the next one!   Ulala also told me afterward that it was the first one she had seen, too, and she enjoyed it.  Below is the picture of me holding Shinryu outside our apartment (we had to look up through the middle of the building because the moon was almost directly overhead and we couldn't see it from any of the outer balconies).  And the pictures of the eclipse itself are all "borrowed from two of my friends via Facebook.   I do not have a camera or tripod setup capable of taking such nice low-light pictures.  So thank you to them for the pictures.
