Eclipse!

I'm a little late, but wanted to share my eclipse experience with you all, even though you are probably sick of it!  :)
I was working the day of the eclipse and figured I really wouldn't see much.  

However, one of the girls in the office, brought in a bunch of eclipse glasses!  For our area, we were to be at 95% of totality.  The eclipse was to start about 1:40, be at 95% at 3:10 and be done at 4:30.

Shortly after 2, we started going out to the side yard one at a time and checking how it looked.

As it got closer to 3, more of us went out.

Here's a few pictures I took to show how the sky was getting darker as we approached 3:00. The white spots in the pictures aren't clouds, the sky was clear.  They're reflections of the lights in the building and as it got darker outside, the  reflections got brighter.

At 3:10, we all went out to the front parking lot and watched for about 10 minutes.  Then it was back inside and back to work.

Here's some professional shots taken in our area that shows what we were seeing.
I was so glad I was able to see it.  I was reminded of how amazing God is, to have created a huge universe, that has moons revolving around planets and planets going around the sun, with all of them at just the right distance to allow humans to live on the earth.

"The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words, no sound is heard from them. Yet, their voice goes out into all the world."
Psalm 19:1-4
