Here Comes the Sun - A Salute

DH and I stopped at the Riverside Nature Center in Kerrville on our way home from the Frio and experienced the eclipse of 2017 - 11 strangers in the parking lot. Pretty cool. Three folks worked in the center office; 7 of us (DH, Kat, Debbie, two teenagers, a man whose name I didn't get either, and me) just stopped by; and one fellow who was talked off the front-end loader and coerced into using the glasses. All stood swapping four sets of protective glasses (Thank you, BR!). The man from the center also had a pinhole viewer which reminded a few of us of past viewings.

The leaves in the parking lot.

Weird accidental selfie with protective glasses in hand.

So, to honor the sun, here are a few other sunny images from the weekend.

The next one will be a complete eclipse in central Texas in 7 years.  See you then.
