Solar Eclipse from my front yard!

Just as the moon began to move across the sun.

I held my special viewing glasses in front of my little camera to take a picture.  It wasn't easy.
Getting closer.
Almost.
There, the Annular Eclipse; also known as the Ring of Fire.

It was so nice to have it right outside my front door.  The next solar eclipse to cross Utah won't be until 2023.  The way time passes, it will be here very soon.  I'd better hang on to my special glasses.

Beautiful photos of the eclipse, Jo. The 'Ring of Fire' immediately made me think of Johnny Cash and that booming bass voice singing that song.

You've captured something to cherish for years to come.

Have a nice week.
