Yes, I saw them on the park path today, under the trees. A partial eclipse here, so the images like crescent moons, but they are images of the sun, with the shadow of the moon taking a bite out. See here.

My neighbor had a pinhole camera he made out of a shoe box & we could see the image of the eclipse in that (in addition to using medically approved dark glasses).
