eclipsed

[underused]

I will admit I'm not someone who gets excited about celestial events. I wasn't thinking about today's eclipse and might have missed it completely if C hadn't come into the office with an empty cereal box looking for tape to make a pinhole camera.

But I heard someone on the radio telling a story about another eclipse and how their science teacher very excitedly told them to "go find a tree!" The leaves on trees would function as a whole collection of pinhole cameras, projecting hundreds--even thousands--of little eclipses onto the ground below.





Who knew?

I really thought so, too. Standing under the maples--you know how there's that path?--it was a trail of little half-moons.

Ohhhh. Yeah, that's magic.

Now, that image looks as though Artemis, running through the forest, left a trail of footprints.

What a wonderful idea!
