Social media, the news and just over hearing people talk about it the entire week. I usually ignore that there is an eclipse mostly because it's always cloudy and we can never see it. This time it was going to be clear skies, so why not go and watch it?
We had to wait until it got dark enough. I grabbed the camera and picked up mom and dad from the middle of their walk. They hopped in and we drove to a spot where you could see the mountain and the moon. The moon was so light colored it was hard to see and I grabbed the wrong lens. Dang it! Turns out everyone else also liked this spot; the road was lined with cars. We stayed for about 20 minutes and decided we could not get the picture we wanted so we went home.
I dropped mom and dad off where I picked them up and went home. I did a few things and then grabbed the correct lens and went out to the top of the driveway and then down towards to the end of the road. It was the perfect time. You could actually see the moon because it was bright enough. I snapped a couple because I did not know how they would turn out. I was shaky so I went and put my elbows on the hood of the Escape and took a few. Those turned out perfect!
