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?

From what my parents have said, I have to admit winters sound like they were pretty awful sometimes. (Or maybe most of the time.) But it doesn't keep me from wishing.
