What Do Eclipse and Gardening Have To Do With Each Other?

This here is a typical picture showing some dappled shade.

The round light shapes get their shapes from their light source. In this instant
 that light source is our very constant Sun.

However it was on the fateful day that our Sun got over shadowed by that other
constant phenomenon in the sky, called the Moon. There may be other moons
circulating other planets but ours is actually the only one named, Moon.

So to my amazement after failing in trying to produce a similar observation
by producing a similar effect by using a kitchen colander. Was when I noticed
this.

No colander needed. My Crape Myrtle tree's dapple shade now transformed.
