The moon and the sun during fire season

These were all taken while we had major smoke 

in the valley from surrounding forest fires.

The moon just as it is coming over the horizon

around 9:00pm

The next morning around 5:00 am

The sun setting around 8:00 pm.

Totally Amazed

My trail camera is not a real expensive one and 

usually after being triggered takes a few seconds 

before it takes a picture.

So how did it get this image?

I cannot explain it.

Eclipse as seen from BYU campus in Provo Utah

Photograph just after it came over the

 East mountains in the morning around 8 AM.

This is how fast it moved.

At a snails pace.

Seems days fly by faster than this.

(This snail was crossing the sidewalk as I left the 

building to set up my camera for the eclipse)

Each of the following images were taken at 

approximately 5 minute intervals.

I had to adjust the camera every few minutes and of course

since I couldn't look very long through the lens since

even with four filters it was still bright I didn't always

get it back to the same spot on the image.

Part of the proof there was no photoshopping.

Got a late start at 10:49 AM

The end at 12:59 PM

I returned to my home where I grew up

and took a few images from where I spent many hours

of my early years working, playing and being a boy.

 My brothers animals that are really fun to see.
