Anything can turn into a pinhole camera: Tree leaves above you - on the ground and on the lawn chair; your hand, and a pin pushed through some paper in your backpack. And they all get like tiny crescents! We were so excited!

ValerieAndBooks When we were outside I was amazed to see eclipse shadows on the ground coming through our abundant trees! I had no idea, it was a pleasant surprise. 7y
Blueberry Dang, was that how we were supposed to do it? Look at the little seperate holes? I used a colander and was looking at the big shape not the individual holes. Still don't know if it would have worked though. Feeling stupid. 7y
Gezemice @ValerieAndBooks I was told but I couldn't believe it. So great! Just everywhere on the ground! 7y

I know you can't see this, but this is the picture of the total solar eclipse. It was amazing. The pictures do not do justice. It is not black, it is all blue! And all around you looks like the sun is setting. I mean, in every direction! It was all worth the 4 hr drive to the totality zone.

Well...here in my little corner, where 100% totality was to occur at about 2:45 pm, it felt like the world might be ending. There was one heck of a thunderstorm!

Gezemice that sucks! 🙁 7y
