I know by know it's old news but I just got home from the eclipse and got through the hundreds of images that I shot. Here are a few of them, uncropped. I shot with a 300mm zoom lens, and some of them were shot short and some long. Oops! The sun looks really orange in all but the totality. Was that due to the filter?
The great part was being out in the middle of a huge meadow, totally alone with the birds and the cricketts!
I like your images and your sentiments too, Kathy. Must be really something to experience that all by yourself in such a pleasant setting. Then again, that's the kind of thing to experience with someone special but not a crowd. Orange partial eclipses are the best way to view them and their sunspots.
This eclipse I was at my daughter's house so i didn't have to go anywhere afterward. For the 2017 eclipse, I travelled to Nashville TN. Took me 7 hours to drive there and only 16 hours to get home because of traffic. Hope you fared better.
