The Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse 2012

Posted on May 21, 2012 by Dayphoto

The Ring of Fire Soalr Eclipse happened right on time yesterday evening. I had a hard time trying to figure out how to take a photo of it

First I tried regular glasses that turn dark when you go outside
Then I tried sun glasses
Then Terry remembered his welding helmet….nope, it needed an arc for it to darken
Then he remembered he had his OLD welding helmet

IT WORKED! But only for our eyes….I couldn’t get the camera to get a decent shot through the tiny vision glass.

But we got to see the eclipse even if I couldn’t take a photo.

The whole thing was really cool…and will not be back to our section of the earth until 2045…I’ll be surprised if anyone living here on our farm will be alive at that time.

But one never knows……

Spider Web and the Feather

Posted on July 14, 2010 by Dayphoto

A very busy little spider created a very sturdy, but gossamer web next to the sidewalk. Some bird, flying over-head and in no particular notion to shed a feather, did so anyway.

The feather drifted slowly down, through the Rio Grande Cottonwood branches and came to a stop in the home of the spider.

And me….

I saw it and took a photo!
