Searches for “eclipse hurt eyes” jumped 170% in the last 24 hours after the eclipse yesterday evening. Ouch. I hope those people didn’t stare too long and that no permanent damage was done.
The sky was cloudy where I live, but I still managed to get a photo, even if it was only with my phone as the clouds briefly allowed the sun through. So much for my plans to use eclipse glasses with my compact camera.
Instead, I spent a nice evening with my wife, our pets and a neighbour who called over for a chat. Lovely!
As expected, Facebook is full of amazing photos of the eclipse, but I love this.
