Yesterday was the Eclipse and people from all over were traveling long distances to be in the path of totality.
It was 90 % total at my house, and that was good enough for me!
I ordered eclipse glasses, read a few articles to learn how to get good photos so that I would have something to post here, and watched a few videos that explained the science of the eclipse.
My family were all excited about watching and taking photos. My daughter planned her lunch hour so that she could be outdoors to watch, and my son took a vacation day. We all laughed at each other in our big clunky glasses.
I went out on the deck and watched and listened for any changes in wildlife behavior.
The geese were honking and came back to the river where they usually spend the night, and when it was over the neighbors rooster was crowing as if he thought it was morning. But the only thing I really noticed was the rather dramatic drop in temperature. I came back into the house to get a jacket.
How hard can it be to get a photo of the sun?
20 years from now, when the next eclipse occurs, remind me to leave the photography to NASA!
It's good that my photos are not a contest entry, as I would surely come in last
