Totality starts now;

 

A good view with the small scope.

 

Pretty much overcast here. We could see a redish glow through the light cloud cover but that's about it.

Years ago we watched a total solar eclipse from a friend's undeveloped property near Pensacola.. It was chilly so we had a fire going but sitting by the fire there was a huge pine tree blocking our view. No problem, says our friend, who jumps up, grabs an axe from his pickup, and proceeds to take down the pine. Most accommodating. Alcohol may have been involved.

 

In southern California.

 

Patty, very cool!

Thanks for sharing your pictures.

 

You're welcome, Sue.

Total cloud cover, but we weren't getting the good show anyways.

 

Wall to wall clouds so we saw nothing!
