Some of the kids are Girl Scouts, so they were doing science things in order to get a badge. For one thing, the temperature dropped 10 degrees at the totality. We had 2 minutes, 49 seconds where we were.
I took a picture every five minutes, but I won't overwhelm you with that many. But, a few... This is the totality.
I sort of got the "diamond ring," but it's not focused well. This is a good place to say that I know these aren't like professional pics, but they are mine. I was there.
Here are a few as it was leaving.
It got dusky, but not really dark. This was the horizon. We could see Jupiter? briefly.
One of the things the kids did was use a colander to project the cresent shapes on a piece of white board.
Then everyone came to Marianne's for dinner. Long day. Very fun. I'm glad I came.

Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. I watched the eclipse here. I didn't notice a temperature drop but many people mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, that is a very cool picture of the totality! We only had a 50% eclipse here and Dada looked at it with a paper plate that he stuck a pinhole in to make a camera. Not as impressive as this. And then he didn't even give me the paper plate to shred afterwards!"
ReplyDeleteI USED a colander for a pinhole camera here as well. It was fun.
ReplyDeleteWell I wasn't there, so your pictures are a lot better than mine! Great photos in fact!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
