the total eclipse

even though austin was in the path of totality the weather forecast was so poor i drove to southeastern missouri.
it was an adventure. spend the night in my car in a walmart parking lot.
just as the eclipse ended a bald eagle flew overhead. still had the filter on the camera and couldnt get it off in time to get a shot even though i tried

this photo has the corona, bailys beads, the diamond ring and several solar flares

it was an amazing experience
