sadly, i didnt catch the beginning with my camera, as we went to the park, and by the time we set up, i turned on the camera and we had no sd card. yep.
either way, we brought some hot cocoa with us, and sat and watched the eclipse until the moon was a deep orange red, kind of like this.
we came home with enough time to grab the sd card, go out behind our apartments where the tiny waterfall resides, and took some pictures anyway. ☺
they all have different exposure settings, so the colors kind of vary. the last one i had a smaller aperture and longer shutter speed, i think. (basically, less light gets in with a smaller aperture.) but, you can kind of see where the shadow begins to move away and leave the partial ring.
then the camera died. since we had come home to take pictures, i had grabbed a blanket and burritoed myself to keep the cold out, so we gathered our things and came back inside.
i attempted some pictures of the stars, too, and actually came out successful this time! i can't wait to go back to north carolina or possibly virginia beach and try to get some more night shots with less light pollution from the nearby cities.
to me, this was super exciting. so there.
work is finally turning around, i hope. i have a manager now, if i didn't mention that. we can get things done! maybe it will be good for a bit. only time will tell.
in other news, my poor girl needs a wheel bearing. my car sounds like a helicopter and it sucks. i also need an oil change, and rear brakes badly, but i have no money. frustrating!! and even more frustrating? ron's new car and it's transmission issues. everything car wise just needs to quit or be free.
oh, i took satch for a ride on our last nice day we had! he is the best ever.
don't worry, we were at a stop light. ohh, he is so good, and funny. at one point he was whistling and screaming at the traffic, in which ron's response was to scream with him. and this is why i love them. ♥♥♥
anyway, no new recipes or treats for now.....actually, i just remembered i made some sweet tea tiramisu, and it is in my fridge. i will get pictures when i cut into this and post it sunday. i wish it wasn't 10:30, because i would totally eat some now, but the caffeine and sugar will probably prevent me from sleeping, or my heart will explode. i am working doubles the next couple days so sleep is kind of a priority (even though diablo has prevented me from going to bed early the last couple nights, but who's judging!?)
right then! so pictures to come of the sweet tea tiramisu. stay tuned! have a good weekend, and thanks for reading! ☻☺☻☺
