As I have since 2020, every day in October, I turn my Instagram over to Lord Cuttlebone, the skeleton who resides at Houndstooth Hall (beginning last year, he’s frequently joined by his nephew, Ambrose).
Today, I photographed them enjoying the solar eclipse. We didn’t get a lot of sky change; it was mostly just overcast, but we saw a lot of the wonderful trembling shadows created by leaves as the eclipse took place. It was also a lovely, cool day to be outdoors.
Love the effects on the fence and on Lord Cuttlebone’s jeans.
Were you able to see/experience any of the eclipse where you were?
I was able to see a partial eclipse. I poked a hole with a pen into a piece of paper, held it up to the sun as I watched the shadow not move as I rotated the paper. That means the distortion is due to the eclipse, and not the irregular pen hole. The sun was noticeably less intense, as well.
I have seen quite a handful of photos of tree branch shadows performing the same pinhole lens effect, resulting in a scattering of eclipsi eclipsos exlipcees eclipses.
I didn’t stay outside long and never looked toward the sky. I’ve had quite enough adventures with my eyes this year. =)
