The Eclipse

Must be pretty sad to be an American-  experiencing, or seeing, the magnificent pictures of the Eclipse, and then finding at the end of it Trump is still there ::) :P

Now David!

You know you are going to get a nasty tweet from the White House over that one.  ;D

Are you listening to that "fake news" again?  ;D

We all know that the king has his cloths on!

Even the partial eclipse was fun to watch here in California.

Always the dreamer and the realist. :)

ATt 83% blackout and rainy, it was hard to tell if we much darkening at all, or if it was just the heavy clouds.

We were treated to a Super, Blue, Blood moon tonight!
Super because it's closest to the earth.
Blue because it was the second full moon for the month
Blood because of the moon moved into the Earth's shadow.
No the clearest pics but the best I could do with a "point-and-click" camera!
cheers
