The Suburban Night Sky

Unfortunately I did not get any photographs of last night's blood moon. I took a guess and set my alarm clock for 1:30 AM but when I ventured outside to check, the moon was not yet showing any signs of turning red. As a devoted photographer I really yearned to stay up and wait, however, I still had a day job to attend in the morning. Sleep was necessary.
 
I did still get some cool pictures of the night sky earlier in the evening!
 
 
The night view down my street:
 
 
 
You don't get to see many (or sometimes any) stars in an illuminated suburb,
but the moonlit clouds were pretty:
