Eclipse

Helen used her science teacher skills and made a pinhole viewer for me. Everyone else had glasses from school and Helen didn't want me to be left out or hurt my eyes.

I walked down to the end of the street, where some neighbors were gathered, for the eclipse viewing

They said the eclipse was 98% in our area. You would think that would be enough, but 2% is still a lot of sunlight.

Colors got muted like at dusk, the temperature dropped, and bugs started chirping.

Crescent shaped shadows through the trees

Helen joined us after her school viewing party. Mr Joe letting her use his welding mask.

Derek skipped class on his first day at Georgia Tech and drove to north Georgia with some friends for a better view

He took his friends back downtown to Tech and then drove back up here to pickup his hockey stuff for a late game. His hockey stuff was in the garage when we woke up, so we assume he made it back to Tech in time for class today.
