PrettyTiny Film Company Pic-A-Week **2021**! (The End)

Thank you guys
I was so happy that lilac, which gave me one flower head last year (I got it the year before and didn't know how it would fare), made 10 this year!  It was a souvenir from the trip to the Corey Hart concert; I bought half a garden centre before coming home
Glori is "Barbie Fashionista #157".  I think it's going to be hard to find a matching body that will make her fun to photograph  

It sounds like you spend considerable time and effort trying to fend off foliage foragers!

Oh boy.  You have no idea....  Today I set my alarm and got up too early, after way too little sleep Wednesday night, because Handyman Guy was supposed to come help build another fence.  An hour before, he cancelled.  "Family coming".  You didn't know that the night before?????  Auwe!!!!!    So, short on sleep again.  And the fence needs to be put up yesterday, because veggies are starting to sprout.  >sigh<

Anyway... a bonus feature this week which has nothing to do with dolls but it's a cool thing not everyone got to see, and is the reason for the 1.5 hours' sleep Wed. night.  (I went back to bed after.)
While we missed the annular part of Thursday's solar eclipse, we did get a maximum of 73%, shortly after sunrise.  I spent about 3 hours scouting for locations that I could lug all my camera & telescope gear to easily.  I did consider taking a doll (yeah, they're all disappointed they didn't get to go) but I wasn't sure if the person who called a few hours before and asked to come along was dolly-friendly, and I did have a ton of other stuff to keep track of.  (So much so that I messed up my compass; TL,DR, don't put a compass next to a cellphone.)
So here's a little video of what we got to see.  If you look at it right ("relax your eyes" as my acquaintance said) you can "see" the big round ball of the moon, hanging in space... you get a sense of 3D big distance, and the clockwork movement of the cosmos.  Pretty cool stuff
