The light is all wrong…

This is the very first time I've experienced a solar eclipse directly. Where in the 80% area a good 12 Hours drive south of the total eclipse band. It's dusk here at 10 o'clock in the morning. The shadows of the trees on the hillside are all in the wrong place for this degree of dimness. I can see reflections on the lake, normally not visible because of the glare of sunlight.

There is a feeding frenzy going on at the Hummingbird feeder. Hummers are extremely territorial about their food supplies, with a truce generally observed at dawn and dusk. There were 4 feeding ports on our hanging feeder; it's rare to see more than one of them in use at any given time. This particular feeder also allows a bird to either perch or hover to feed. A few moments ago, for the very first time, I saw two hummingbirds perched and feeding from opposite ports simultaneously.

Where the hell is a camera when you need it? Of course my phone was on the charger.
