Eclipse April 8, 2024

 The eclipse was 92%, and the day was sunny and dry. Although I had to work, my boss was good about letting me go out to watch through borrowed glasses.

I found what is purported to be the first photo of an eclipse, taken in 1862 in Spain.


My own pics were not as successful:

Highly edited, this one shows it a little.


I steeped springwater in the sun during the eclipse and drank it after. Feeling energized and motivated.
