One of the reasons I wanted to see and photograph the solar eclipse was I had never seen totality. So my vision for this image was to make totality the main subject and the phases secondary by making them a little smaller, it also made it easier to fit them altogether in one image.

Did you know, huimmingbirds collect spider webs and use them to make nests. They use spider webs to glue there nest together. I have seen them use lichen and and other small pieces of material with the spider web to bind them together and there nest is only about the size of a walnut as you can see in the image I shot below.
