I got myself ready in March! There won't be another until 2044. Monday morning I was prepared.
I practiced before noon. It was perfect!
Look at the clouds rolling in!

Yes, clouds rolled in. None of my sieves worked.
I hope you aren't tired of the eclipse... I thought about the Crumbly Acres camera, and it shows a bit of our drama. The camera thought it was getting dark and clicked in to night mode!
Aster took an amazing photo with an appropriate lens cover. It was epic!

Happily, the kids rented a vehicle and drove to Quebec: Salaberry-de-Valleyfield (2-hour drive). They didn't want to risk using their EV and running out of a charge. All the rental agency had left was a RAM 1500!
They took a video, sped up for time. I can live vicariously! I'm so glad they shared it with us. Maybe we should subsidize their trip costs!!!
Aster's photo was amazing! I wonder what the aliens would have thought if they visited us on eclipse day and saw all these crazy humans with cardboard to their faces staring at the sun?
ReplyDeleteLove the eclipse photo, well done!
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
It got so dark, you would think a good thunder boomer was rolling in. The temperature dropped quite a bit too. Unfortunately it was very cloudy here so we really couldn't see anything. About ten minutes after it ended, the clouds rolled out and the sun was warming us up again.
ReplyDeleteThat shot of the eclipse is fabulous. We started out sunny but then the clouds rolled in. The about an hour after everything the blue skies returned!
ReplyDeleteLiving through their eyes is a fabulous way to see the eclipse, the world and see friends. I live through others' eyes too.
ReplyDeleteAster's photo is brilliant.
ReplyDelete...we were in the path of the total eclipse, but our sky was overcast. It got dark and than light, we didn't need our glasses!
ReplyDeleteThe eclipse is one thing the kids will remember for their life.
