We celebrated the day with an eclipse brunch

 

 

The camera automatically adjusts for ambient light, so the photos of just before

 

And during the eclipse

 

Don’t show as dramatic difference as there was.  It got dark enough for the solar garden lights to come on.

 

As it got dark, it got noticeably cooler; about ten degrees.  The goldfinches that had been savaging the sock feeders only moments before all disappeared except for one solitary bird that sat out in the open, plaintively peeping until it got completely dark, then he went quiet too.  Our total bird count for the duration of the eclipse was 1.

 

I took just a few pictures of the eclipse.

 

 

 

 

Mostly we all just soaked in the moment.
