April 8th Eclipse

Partial Eclipse

How the eclipse looked in Vegas. Start at top, end at bottom.

The eclipse was a total bust up here, heavily overcast, and never saw the sun all day...oh well, pooh happens, lol !

We had a reasonably good view for most of the event. Some cloudiness here and there.

It got completely dark for about 2 1/2 minutes. We were on the edge of the totality, so that's all we got.

There is supposed to be a partial eclipse in the near future, so my wife wants to keep the glasses. Which she won't be able to locate.

Eclipse shades I held over the cell phone viewfinder while MsNative pressed the shutter button about 4 min. before max. Breeze blew a leafy tree branch hence the little dark triangles.

Great photos! It reminds me of Pac-Man!

We were at 100% totality at our place in Arkansas. Here are just a few pictures I took.

At the peak moment here in NE Georgia we had the first hummingbird of the year on the feeders. Wonder if that's an omen?

Now that is very peculiar as we were sitting out waiting for the total moments the first hummingbird we have seen this year came to our red honeysuckle. Maybe it is an omen!

The hummers here kept complaining I was in their yard taking pictures. They can be quite feisty.

Totally overcast here in the Blue Ridge. It looked like dusk for a few minutes and then what little light we had came back.

The IMPORTANT thing was that a friend fixed the brakes on my old F150 today!

You just like screwing with the chickens you sick *******

Hold my beer.

If I thought of it sooner I would have gotten a bunch of blow up dolls and a helium tank.

Set up near a mega church or a cult compound and turn em loose at the appointed time of the rapture, leaving their preacher to explain why they were left behind

Virtually in the middle of 100% totality.

I think I have seen locally every license plate used in the nation but Hawaii. Folks staying next to me at a hotel this weekend flew here from Japan. They had never even heard of Arkansas until the came here.

I went over and viewed it with my dad. I saw my first one about 50 years ago with him. We agreed we would like to see one more together.

Late this afternoon my mom got her first visit from a hummingbird at the feeder I put up for her. At least the first one we saw.

She's in Ormond Beach.

Full cloud cover here in Houston. I took a nap.

I don't see the Corona. I guess you drank it.

My daughter reported a Germany tag from Lambert’s Throwed Rolls parking lot here in flyover country. Still trying to figger that’n out . . .
