Hiking through the eclipse! I picked eclipse day to visit Mt Rainier, specifically a section of the Wonderland trail leading to a valley called Indian Bar (I know, awkward name). Here’s my eclipse photo: even with the sun 80% obscured, you can see how vivid this vine maple is in its autumn foliage. Photo 2: a bridge made from a single Western red cedar log about 60 ft long. I crossed it during the eclipse. Short thread follows.

Hiking Mt Rainier in the eclipse cont’d. And here is what I came for: the view of Tahoma, close-up, with snow far down its shoulders already. There’s really nothing like it—it’s an active volcano and rated one of the most dangerous in the world. I was lucky here, for the season— it was almost sunny for a few minutes and I got to see farther up the peak than I was expecting. Then the clouds blew in, threatening snow.

Kinda late to share these, buuut it's #photomonday according to the Germans and these are the most interesting pics I got. (This is the first post in a series but I swear it gets funner.)
ANYWAYS, woke up super late for the eclipse on Saturday but ran out to the park just in time!
Also I hiked up this giant hill with a bunch of obnoxious arts and craft supplies because I wanted to take pics of the eclipse like, pinhole-projected onto my tits for social media. Cause that seemed super fucking funny to me???
And no one's ever done that as far as I can tell. Which was probably for good reason, as this looked wayyy more impressive in my head...
CLOSE-UP OF MY TITS, disappointing today for totally different reasons.
It's blurry as heck, but you can kiiinda see the #eclipse on my left nipple if you squint real hard? :google_emoji_kitchen_heartbeat_and_chestnut_mashup:
Just spent like 20 minutes looking for another SFW photo to share because I legit think, and I am totally tooting my own horn here, this shit deserves to go viral or something???
But no, that's it. I immediately went and started taking all the dumb fucking lewds with this technology lmao. :google_noto_color_emoji_animated_sweat_smile:
Who else is hearing all this “ring of fire” eclipse stuff and thinking mainly of the way the term is used for the sensation during childbirth when the head is about to come out? #eclipse#eclipse2023#women#children
Yesterday’s annular eclipse as viewed from a city park on the outskirts of Hondo, #Texas. There was a broad layer of high clouds when we arrived but luckily they broke up & blew away just in time for the main event. Had to get up in the wee hours and drive 225 miles (362 km) west to get right in the center of the path but it was well worth it.
Annular eclipse as seen from UNM in Albuquerque, NM, this morning. You can see sunspots in the first photo. It was very exciting getting to the ring of fire moment, and everybody applauded and cheered, but after the climax finished, everybody got bored and skedaddled. I swear I didn't just Photoshop a white circle onto a black background for that last shot.
The Annular Solar Eclipse this morning was cool to watch here in Tucson, AZ USA, but it did reduce our production of electricity from our solar panels! Note the peak of the Eclipse at 9:30am MST is perfectly shown by the dip to 828 Watts.
