As a total solar eclipse reaches ever-closer towards totality, your surroundings begin to change. Colors begin to lose their contrast and shadows on the ground become much sharper.

We would eat watermelon straight from the field until we were about to burst. Somehow they were always so cool inside no matter how hot the day.
Hope you enjoyed this little trip to by-gone-days.
