Solar Eclipse
We had a very cloudy day today for the solar eclipse, so I wasn’t even sure if there would be any views of the solar eclipse. It definitely got darker and cooler when the eclipse was happening. These next two pictures were taken by using the reflection in a puddle. And God made the two […]
