We all ran outside eagerly to try and see the solar eclipse last week, but in Michigan it happened when the sun was very low in the horizon.
Darn trees!
I got a pretty sunset picture out of it, but it only looks like the beginning of a solar eclipse if you squint and hope.
Did any of you get to see it very well?

“Professional” might be a bit of a stretch, but thanks!
Misty, I just realized: you’re a professional blogger on top of everything else! You’re amazing. (I hate that overused word, but I can’t think of a better for you.)
Very nice! I’m jealous. We ended up watching it on a live feed over the internet from somewhere more west than us – which the kids thought was pretty cool.
We watched the eclipse from our rooftop. It was amazing! We wore solar-viewing glasses to protect our eyes. While we were too far north to see the “ring of fire,” we saw 90% of the sun gobbled up by the moon. It was so cool. We’re looking forward to watching Venus pass in front of the sun on Tuesday! Another rare event.
