I'm in North Texas, so we had a lot of cloud cover. Also had camera trouble. However, the clouds parted for at least a portion of totality, and it was awesome. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Unless I want to spend a ton of money to go to another location. I don't think that's going to happen.
Anyway, have some pictures!
We had a lot of clouds. this was shortly before totality.
Just a sliver left!
Just after totality. You can see a planet (Venus?) to the left of the crescent.
Maybe a minute later. I wasn't kidding about the clouds.
The moon is receding now.
I like this one with the clouds.
I added a warm filter in Photoshop to this one. Note the sunspots!
Near totality. From the cell phone. Not the best shot, but I like the beads.
Anyway, I fun afternoon!
