Partial Annular Eclipse

Last night was a solar eclipse.  We elected to stay home instead of travel this eclipse so we weren't able to see the ring of fire, just a few "bites".  We were only able to see it for about 30 minutes so instead of carrying the telescope out we just took the solar filter.  Because we have so many trees, we headed down the road to the highest and safest location we could find - our local bank's parking lot.  The traffic light was a first an annoyance in my pictures.  However, I later figured out that it was perfect for focusing the camera as it wouldn't focus on the sun.

Last Birthday for this season

Our last birthday of the season is C's .  She received her 1st present from Mamaw on our way home from the Star Party - a guitar!!  Our next musical experiment begins..... The cake she wanted was a Treasure Buddy cake - so we made a puppy face. Ready to open her presents from the family. Clay ring from Z . A "rock" pony. Animal Paws bracelet and a rose necklace made by A. Clay horse pen for the new pony - made by A and S. C has developed a love for Shelby 427 Cobra's.  Can't say I blame her.  They are the coolest car ever!  A girl after Mama's own heart!
