Sunday afternoon

 It was a beautiful day!  I think it was 63 degrees, sunny, and no wind.

 My guy was outside working in the yard...which is just beautiful!
 

 I went out and joined him after I made a pinhole camera... There was a solar eclipse happening about 6:30 p.m. and we were hoping to see it.  I got the camera ready, my guy got us a margarita.
 Unfortunately, the high clouds came in...making seeing an eclipse a bit difficult...

 The pinhole camera...and a margarita...
 My guy was trying to see if he could see the eclipse...
 We both kept hoping...
 It kept getting brighter outside, so we'd  hope the clouds would leave the area of the sun...
Part of it, we were able to see...it looked like a bite had been taken out of the sun, but then...
 more clouds....


 Here's the sun inside the camera....


 Oh well, we tried.... we kept checking the pinhole camera, not wanting to look at the sun, even though it was tempting!  There were warnings all over the internet to NOT look at the sun at all, or risk damage to your eyes...
We finally gave up, just enjoyed the backyard...
 

then went for a walk... and called it a night!

You're yard is beautiful. I know Ron must really enjoy working in it. Love you, Mom

Now that's a camera that's priced right. I would highly recommend you put a neck strap on it just in case it gets dropped.
Pop, yard looks great. It's not often you get to see it under sunlight.
