Be like Jay?
Be like Jay! Be gay and scolding, I guess. Looks like poetry of questionable quality isn't only the domain of grade school English class.
THE BLUE JAY.
Something glorious, something gay,
Flits and flashes this-a-way!
’Thwart the hemlock’s dusky shade,
Rich in color full displayed,
Swiftly vivid as a flame—
Blue as heaven and white as snow—
Doth this lovely creature go.
What may be his dainty name?
“Only this”—the people say—
“Saucy, chattering, scolding Jay!”

Super blood wolf moon eclipse 2019, as best as I can get by handholding my phone
Tonight's Lunar Eclipse. I didn't even know about it until I saw the Earth's shadow upon the moon while casually looking out a living room window. As soon as I saw, I started watching in the backyard; and experimenting with my phone camera to capture the moments.

Almost to the total Lunar Eclipse. This is about as good of a shot I can get handholding my phone. Peak of the total eclipse is in about 15min; via Instagram http://bit.ly/2MssKQ1
This photo was taken near the peak. It took a fair amount of Instagram filter use to bring this photo to the point of being marginally recognizable; via Instagram http://bit.ly/2sEQRSl
