Transit of Venus, Boston

Overcast skies all day gave me plenty of practice to me a "virtual artist"-- a misnomer, perhaps.  Let's say a "Artist Remote"-- as all of the global admirers of celestial events are!  Just as the last 45 minutes of sunset where passing here in Boston, the skies cleared to ribbons of sun and cloud (see watercolor post of clouds...) and it looked like we had a chance.  My husband and I threw ourselves into our car, welding goggles in hand, and dashed 8 miles west to Danehy Park in Cambridge, MA.  
Alas-- all we saw was the Transit of Soccer Ball.....
