Anyone Traveling to See the April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse? Or staying home?

Cloudless and perfect, though we were only at like 92% so not as cool as totality, but still fun.

Yeah it was quite a day!

I was out here in La La Land and we didn’t get much coverage of the sun by the moon.

Conan was tired of the whole thing!

“Don’t you wuv me anymore?”

I was in Hamilton, ON, which was on the path of totality. The clouds parted enough when it mattered the most and I took this pic with my phone. It was quite something!

But I had friends and a brother in Eclipse Land!

Here’s from a California friend who took this in Niagara Falls

My younger brother works in Lake County Ohio and he got these pictures in the parking lot:

Another friend of a friend got this picture of Cleveland’s Terminal Tower.

I'm bummed you didn't get to see it. They were predicting party cloudy for us for days beforehand, and luckily the weather cooperated.
Aside from eclipse pictures, I did get some hilarious shots of the Papillons racing around the yard, and mine dashing into the agility tunnel, knowing Mom's is terrified of it and won't go through it. So she had a no boys allowed fortress all afternoon.

That's okay; I have seen and photographed two eclipses previously- one in 1970 in Charleston SC, a total, and another, an annular eclipse, in 1994 here in WNY- so it's not like I was missing a once-in-a-lifetime event.

OOOO! Perfect Stephen King!

Haha funny you should say that! The reason I even found out about this total eclipse was that my book club recently read a thriller (not Stephen King) where key events took place during eclipses, thus started a discussion about eclipses, which lead to a quick google search about this one, and so my book club members decided to come together to witness this eclipse! Lucky for us nothing bad happened during the total eclipse
