The clouds made it hard to get sharp photos. There were some sun spots I was trying to get good shots of, but it was like trying to shoot through a diffusor. The clouds were also making the exposure very inconsistent so every photo was too dark or overexposed. About the best I could do is below.Nice.
The clouds made it more interesting.
Never really got dark, we were in the 94% area.Cloudy here in Katy, still will get dark. I wonder if the dog's will think it's bedtime?
I can see the top of a cell tower in the distance. The white daytime light did change over to the red nighttime light during the eclipse.Was dark enough some of the chickens went in their coop
Sometimes it isn't, tho. Last year we had an annular eclipse which is when the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun. Annular eclipses are much more common. The moon is also slowly drifting away from earth so as the eons go by total eclipses will get more and more rare.Is it a coincidence that the moon just happens to be the exact size needed to just exactly cover the sun?
My ducks seemed completely unfazed by it. Could have been because I was outside, tho. They usually only put themselves up if I'm inside when it gets dark. Otherwise they are content to keep chasing bugs at night if I'm out in the yard.Was dark enough some of the chickens went in their coop
