Totality

My phone isn't the best for this kind of stuff. It didn't show the black center. But you can tell by my lights that it got dark. The sky around the sun does look cool. Scary cat was with me and didn't pay any attention. George horse never stopped munching his hay . I got some good exercise today. I got the weed whacker out and the fenced in part of the backyard is fully done. I also have the outside fence line of that trimmed and beside the house. If we don't get rain hubby is hoping to mow tomorrow. I got a headstart. I will do more tomorrow hopefully. Its to tall and wet to use my mower easily. But I might do some areas with it. Once we start mowing regular I will use the mower more. I did clean part of the kitchen. Not as good as usual but I did it. So it was a productive day. Now I am going to finish my cactus and maybe start a new one tonight. I hope you had a good day.

That's pretty much how the shots from my 'good' camera came out. My cheaper one gives better photos.

Hard to get good photos even with a good camera.

@wolfgirl569 Cost twice as much as my other (same company, Canon) so I really thought I'd get better pictures - go figure.

I was wondering what the animals would think of the eclipse. It seems they didn't really notice it much.

When we had a total eclipse here in August 1999, all birds immediately stopped chirping when it became all dark. The cats and dogs did not seem to care.

@LadyDuck I've heard of sheep and cows getting very agitated before an earthquake as if they could sense something was going to happen.

@JudyEv I have never witnessed animals before an earthquake, but I have heard the same.

It's a pretty good photo and you can really see that it was dark. Only birds seem to matter, they stop singing

@wolfgirl569 It is an interesting experience. It happened during August here, the temperature also immediately dropped.

I was mowing our yard when the eclipse happened. I'll attach a picture a friend took of it. I didn't have my phone on me to get one. We didn't have a full eclipse here because we weren't in the direct path of it. It looks like the one we had 4-5 years ago. I am hoping to get to the church in the morning to mow there before the rain sets in for the rest of the week.

You did a lot for the day. Definitely a productive day. Animals don't make a big fuss about things. From last day, I am getting non stop pictures of this eclipse from all my friends and family in the US. They are spectacular.

@arunima25 They sense before we do for dangerous things.

@wolfgirl569 Hmm... we are not sure if it affects them in any way. I remember witnessing a earthquake when I was in school. It was vacation time and I was at my grandparents house. The earthquake came around 3 in the morning. Somehow, all the pets started making lots of noises and showing restlessness just a little before the earthquake. My grandparents had cows, dogs, rabbits, goats and parrots as pets.

I was able to turn things around some. Finding places for my clothes, while not making them tripping hazards is fun.

cool picture. We had 80%, but we also had cloud cover. My mother made me a cereal box cover and after I figured out how to use it, it was really cool. One of the cats was interested. She was on the cat tree looking outside while it was happening.
