So today was the second solar eclipse I remember seeing. There may have been one when I was a kid, but the one 7 years ago, I witnessed with the girls. So today, ironically, I got to watch it with my boys, @dr460n3y3 and @b34w0lf.
The plan for the day was to work on the shed and get the walls up. They are complete, but I need two other sets of hands to hold them up and anchor them. The first half of the day though, presented itself with rain and my boy got called in since someone else called out. The 'playhouse' is a work in progress, it'll get done by summer.
Back to the once in a lifetime (likely) event. Spending a solar eclipse with my boys. The last time, they were in New York with their wanna be mommy and didn't even get to see it. Hate that they missed so much good shit because of that vile creature. Anyways, got some really interesting photos today.
Oh wait, you probably want to see some shots of that fireball up there. I'll be looking for some good ones on chain and if you took some and want to share, feel free to drop them in the comments!
What ya think? I tried putting the glasses over my lens, but it wouldn't show right. So, did what I could and honestly, I frig'n love 'em! The multiple crescents and reverses in the center of the shadowed moon/sun is awesome. But that's me being me, REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, even blind in one eye.
I wish I could have seen the eclips to.. Such amazing shots you got from it. I can never get good shots of moon and such at night, but you managed.
And I love the cool glasses you wear 😍 awsomeness.
Thank you for sharing and bet it was a cool experience.
Much love 🤗💕❤️💋🤗
Just posted a couple pictures in my own comment.
I was in the path of totality, and man, it was a truly awesome experience!

I be looking out!
Very cool! I saw the last one here in the western US a couple months back. It's hard to photograph and I guess you need some specialized equipment. I just used some welders glass to see the eclipse though. Pretty awesome aren't they?
To get it proper, ya, a darkened sheen lens with like twice the opacity of a 35mm negative.
Here's my iPhone image of totality as seen from Fredericksburg, Texas:
Pretty sweet man!
Thanks! I regret not bringing a camera, but the weather report was so dismal that I didn't think I'd even see the sun.
Really cool
Thank you!
I was having the same issue trying to put the glasses over my lens too. I remember we had one in like 4th grade and then I remember one several years ago.
!LOLZ ya I think I was in 1st or second grade and we did a shoebox thing!

We went camping for the week leading up to the 2017 eclipse in Salem, Oregon. Watched it at the state fairgrounds with all these fine folks.
It. Was. AWESOME!
A kid and a cousin 👆
This was cool too, sunlight through a tree creating shadows on the ground in which you can see the half circle of the moon shading the sun.
Cool you got to see today's with the boys, now back to work! 😝
I have to go digging to find the ones from that one, love the crescent shadows on the pavement, that's cool as shit.

Lovely time with your boys, definitely. The eclipse was not visible from our side of the world though.
When is your next one?
MY old 3D Glasses got soaked in the rain.
Awww, could you still see some of the effects?
Ahhh now I'm jealous 😭.
Regardless another eclipse would be passing by my country by September.
I gats view that one as I missed the previous.
🌗
Won't have another in this region for a good 30 some odd years!
Sadly, it didn't happen in my city but I heard there would be another one some months from now so I'm looking forward to that. You captured really amazing shots!
Thank you and hope your experience is awesome.
This must have been such a unique experience. Every time a similar event happens, I always failed attempting it, but I really hope I'll experience it one day by my own also :)
Don't miss it!
Sweet, we getting one in 10 years lol
Any idea the totality? Looks way better when it's nearer 100.
I think a bit over 90. I experience a 94 % about two years back. Amazing experience 😄
Wow, these are amazing photos! A very exciting experience thanks to the Universe, dear. Last time I saw a solar eclipse was in 2005… I loved it. ❤️
Sweet, do you have any pictures?
That's fabulous that you had your boys there! 💜

It would have been nice to get video as I was in the "path of totality". But, the sun spent the whole day eclipsed by clouds. Go figure.
