watched it about an hour ago from new mexico -- got to see it fully covered before it 
disappeared behind my line of sight

Saw half moon from Ceres Calif at 5:30 @ 6:05 could barely see orange moon. 
Too much fog, then daylight could no longer see moon

to watch it in Idaho Falls, Idaho!

From The Edge...



...of the Storm at Butterfly Beach, Santa Barbara.


Day three of the painting workshop found our group at Butterfly Beach as an approaching storm headed towards Santa Barbara. We made the best of it, watching John Budicin create magic on his canvas board. Then we stumbled through our own paintings while shivering and keeping one eye on the incoming squall.
