Eclipse day

Monday we watched the eclipse from our backyard. Here it was about 90% at peak and the world seemed a bit otherworldly then. Very quiet - birds sitting still, not much traffic - and a strange light. Wonderful to be a part of it.
Here's some photos from the time of the eclipse - none of the eclipse itself as I did not get the requisite filters.  There are some pretty incredible eclipse shots around the web.

The eclipse provides very different shadows - the deck and rock photos show that. Then the light on the rose was so spectacular during the peak that I took the photo, not knowing if it would turnout.  Well it turned out beautiful, not sue it really provides the same experience as being here then did.
