I took in the annular eclipse today. It was an amazing thing to witness and has me stoked to plan for getting under totality for the upcoming eclipse in April 2024. I had actually hoped for partial overcast to get an environmental shot over Trial Island but the clouds burned off so out came my makeshift solar filter that I'd made in 2017. The first image was taken at 9:18, maximum occlusion. There's a very clear sunspot in the second image, taken at approximate 9:00. Although I didn't end up with the shot I had in mind, I was able to show the eclipse to several curious passers by and I believe some flabbers were gasted. The birds made it known that they felt cheated by such a short day. The gulls in particular were vocal about their severely reduced opportunity to p**p on heads before this unexpected call to bedtime. Really fun experience today!

Some pictures from Paul's and my bicycle camping trip across the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Over 250 km over 6 days. Sore asses and wobbly legs. Some amazingly beautiful sights. Too many highway miles - it's a long process tying segments of the trail together with more trail, so the highway bits are a necessary evil. Too few showers. Met many neat characters along the way. Great meals. Technical challenges overcome. Super lucky weather.

Top notch sunset in last night.

Always love watching the starlings work on their formation flying. Even better with this backdrop.

Tonight’s reputed winds didn’t amount to much. The people on the corner of the breakwater got off easy.
