Clouds crawl in western sky
Spot the sun, orange and black
Trees try on gold, like grasses
Watch contrail over crescent moon

A 70th Anniversary
We celebrated Jim and Ann’s (Laurie’s parents) 70th wedding anniversary today.
We had a shindig
Jim with his Studebaker convertible. Ann wearing the dress she got married in.
Jim was in the Navy in San Diego in 1953. He didn’t want to have a blood test before they could get married, which was required in California, so they drove to Yuma, Arizona, to get married because pre-nuptial blood tests were not required in Arizona.
On their way to Yuma, AZ, to get married.
La Familia: Liz, Lea, Ann, Jim, Lane, and Laurie.
Happy 70th Anniversary!
Burned
My Canon sun filter got burned by the sun.
I had not tested my Canon sun filter for the Bazooka before the eclipse. I should have. Since it fits at the back of the lens, the sun simply burned through it. I used an old iPhone 6 with a single lens to photograph the eclipse through the eyepiece of my telescope. I didn’t have time to mess with putting a camera on the telescope, plus people wanted to look through the telescope because the clarity was amazing.

Since I had to move the iPhone around on the eyepiece for each photo, the GIF is a bit jumpy.
From the bazooka at ring time
The color of the sun becomes whiter as the eclipse advances because the phone’s camera overexposed the sun because of the dark side of the moon.

Grasshopper hopped on and hitched a ride. Then he hopped off when we got home.
The Hollyhocks and roses believe they are as pretty as balloons.

Udderly Amazing
I went to the field this morning, which gives you a different perspective on the balloons and the crowd. Since it was Tuesday, the number of people was about half of what they get on the two Saturdays and Sundays.
Abobe upgraded Bridge, Photoshop, and Camera Raw, and I got errors opening most of my photos. I finally gave up on troubleshooting the issue and processed the images in On1 Photo Raw.
