Venus At Four O’Clock Sometimes there are surprises. Arriving at our chosen site two days before the North American 2024 total solar eclipse gave plenty of time to assess and to prepare for the event … if the weather cooperated. Weather cooperated and the image shows the sun at total eclipse, but there was a surprise. The surprise was the appearance of Venus at the four o’clock position to the eclipsed sun. Sometimes there are surprises. ~ Anecdote and 2024 Solar Eclipse capture, Venus At Four O’Clock © Jerry L. Ferrara

But then she pulled out a nut [acorn or hickory] … something stashed away. ~ Anecdote and Red-bellied Woodpecker capture, Something Stashed Away © Jerry L. Ferrara
