My lame documentation of the solar eclipse :D

I'm on the west coast in Seattle so I was lucky enough to see the moon mostly block out the sun! How surreal it felt to see the sun start getting darker. And it started getting chilly out too! Of course, safety first.... I was rockin' the eclipse glasses.

I didn't have a special filter on my camera so I decided to try taking photos through the glasses. When I say lame, ya...I mean lame. But whatever! It was a momentous occasion so I had to do something!

Here in Seattle I think it only covered like 90% of the sun so it never got completely dark. Just an eerie low light effect. My landlady's cat, Penny, was loving the fact that we were all outside. Obviously, the pay attention to her ;) This is her enjoying the event :)

Happy viewing! And please take better pictures than I did, haha!

Lol, love your honesty. Not everyone can get the award-winning shot. But it looks like you enjoyed the process and the day outside. That counts. And so did Penny ;)
