We got lucky and the clouds parted just in time in my corner of Texas.

      Some interesting things happen during the 98%-99.9% eclipse moments that really make it a “you have to be there” type situation.

      The cascading shadows in the ground are hauntingly beautiful, and that let bit of light right before and right after totality some people perceive as a diamond shape.

        Me and my wife dressed in red and green since we read those colors look very weird close to totality but we got so amazed with the eclipse that we even forgot to look at each other

        The shadow bands liked really cool tho
