So, the first thing I did was drive out to Annapolis to deliver 6 paintings and pick up 4 small ones. That took most of the morning and early afternoon. The eclipse was starting to get underway when I got back, so I spent some time wandering around the yard taking pictures of the crescent shapes of the sun on the ground, as it was filtered by the tree leaves.
Back yard, 8/21/2017
Crescent shapes on pumpkin plant leaves. Note pumpkin growing in shadows.
82% coverage of sun.
Also: we had a giant mushroom growing on the lawn. I'm adding this photo because Nature is just so amazing. Apparently, this is a "puffball" mushroom; I think it looks like the brain of an alien entity. The deer have been ignoring it.
Puffball Mushroom. Approximately 9" in diameter.
Tomorrow: back to painting.
