While I did get a few snatches of the sun through heavy clouds I found that there were other things going on around me. First it got deathly silent. We were miles out in the country visiting kids so no city sounds. The birds which were singing before the eclipse got quieter then totally silent during the totality phases. The other thing I noticed was what this one little flower was doing. I thought it might close so I took a series of photos of it. Not great quality but when it got darker it was not conducive to great focus.
