A Smile from the Sun

Well I expect you've heard we had an partial eclipse of the sun this morning in England, so I did my best to get a capture. I don't think my bridge camera was the best for this but here is the moon travelling over the sun.

I finally managed to get a picture by hanging my camera outside the front door with the viewing screen angled inside, just so I didn't look directly at the sun. Several people walking by stopped to see what I was doing and ended up nattering about the eclipse.

The worst thing about taking this morning picture was my poached eggs on toast was getting cold, but I couldn't miss this as I might not be around for the next one.
An awesome fav for me! Nothing but rain and cloudy skies here so there wasn't anything to see. And I love the title!
