Got it, bought one camp like that, granite slabs, come along and a winch took care of it. Presently only one oak tree in green or budding out. Probably because it late Spring temp 44 and that’s with full sun.

 

I live but won’t be mobile for awhile, had to take a cross country ride ATV and will be paying for it, for a month or until temps remain in 60’s.Until then it’s med’s and PT.I’m not 60 anymore.

 

Attempted capture of Northern lights twice , not happening this time.,hope all are well, I’ll be off line for awhile movement is a nono except PT.

@Frozenoem , oh yes, I remember the ol' pinhole method.  I also remember when we lived in Germany, we used a piece of smoked glass.  NOT RECOMMENDED!  Of course, at that time, we didn't know better.  Not like eclipses happened all the time.  This was long before the techie times.  Wonder we didn't all go blind.  Although who knows?  Maybe there were residual affects, just hard to distinguish between that and old age.  😆

Thought about using over-exposed 220 films but, I had no problem seeing  my iPhone lite thru film. That Bill Nue guy is dangerous.

Hi again @catwoman500

I chuckled at “I wore my 33-year-old souvenir tee shirt from the Hawaiian eclipse.”

I have more OLD clothes than new, some from the 70s...like my 1st tie-dyes, souvenirs from concerts (Jethro Tull, >>>>John Lennon & Paul McCartney, George Harrison & even Ringo>>>>(unfortunately... NOT together, but solo...still it was so wonderful & amazing to see them live!!!) Stones, Animals, Simon/Garfunkel, YES, ELO & ELP! ETC.)

 

Anyway, I think your ‘kind of blurry’ eclipse pic is still great, & wanted to ask what kind f lenses did you use? I know very little ...& I’ll defer to Froze, because I’ll bet he will jump in & expound upon more info, using his incredible wealth of knowledge...hope so....LOL!

Also.... thanks for all the kudos!

Hope you’re doing well!

As always... Take care!

@Therapist4u ...Allen, 

What I meant by "lens" was that I took a second pair of the cardboard glasses and folded the lens part around my phone camera lens. One of the news stations recommended that so your phone or regular camera wouldn't get screwed up.

@LaDolceVita ...an arbor next to the pergola sounds lovely. Are you going to have something climbing on it? (and I don't mean critters!) LOL. I mean like clematis or climbing roses.

@catwoman500    Trumpet vines have Janie.jpeg

been planted, just hope they come up.  Dogs were busy near the site because of the blood meal placed in the 2 holes.

@LaDolceVita ...That will be really nice. It looks good. Good luck with the vines!

@Winter2024 , eclipses happen regularly, but it is all a matter of being in the right place at the right time.  The next eclipse to appear in the U.S. is in 2033, but will only be visible in NW Alaska.  For the lower 48, the next visible eclipse will be in 2044 and will only be seen from Montana, North Dakota and far northwest South Dakota.

@Therapist4u , sorry, no pictures.  Didn't have the right filters for any of my cameras.  87% = a skinny banana.  It was pretty cool.  Probably be the last one I see in my lifetime.  As the moon was moving away from the sun, some clouds moved in which looked really eerie through the glasses and at one point, the clouds blotted out the sun.  And since you can only see the sun's light through those glasses, it was easy to imagine I was watched a total eclipse. 😁

Eclipse day. 🌒 We will see 87% in my neck of the woods.  Broke out my old glasses from the eclipse in 2017.  I cannot believe it, but we actually have a clear day as in blue sky, no clouds, today.  Anybody else got eclipse fever?

@Frozenoem , what time was it for you?  🤔

 

I guess I should TRY to see one before I die  🙄

 

@LaDolceVita and @catwoman500 did you see it in YOUR location?  🤔

 

Take Care,

Nicole  👵

@Winter2024   There were some brief moments when the skies were darker than usual, we were outside and knew that somewhere not too far the eclipse was happening.  A strange hushed sky like the last eclipse, without actually seeing the event itself.

Trusted Social Butterfly

Where is everyone?  I kept looking for a new Morning Roll Call thread but alas there is not one!  Have you all been eclipsed?  OK, not funny. 

 

All is well with me and mine.  Have put up an arbor next to the pergola.  Will post picture after I take one.

@Therapist4u   Well I am happy that you liked my eclipse joke.  Did not realize that  the order of the posts were not in the order  I am accustomed to seeing.  Glad to see everyone's posts again.  Still  a few we have not heard from.

 

BTW trumpet vines have not come up yet and may not come up at all!  They were not cheap either.
