an annular eclipse

For those in the Western US (or Asia!), you got to catch a glimpse of the Moon sitting almost perfectly between us and the Sun.  Called the "Ring of Fire", we only saw it as a crescent sun, but it was still SO COOL!   The last solar eclipse in the US was in the early '90's ('93?), which I watched as a wee lass in Indiana. 

I set up my telescope at church, got some eclipse glasses, and Vivi took some sweet pictures.
