Eclipse 2017

Here is my obligatory Eclipse post.  I went to Caldwell Nature Preserve in Cincinnati.  I had to work and didn't have glasses to view the 91% eclipse here, so I neglected my duties for an hour to see how an eclipse looks in a forest. The best thing:  no one else was there, unlike those places in the Path of Totality.

Lots of crescent-shaped sun filtered through the leaves.

I kept trying to get crescent light on a tree instead of just on the ground.

Not crescent-shaped but cool-looking nonetheless.

The shadow cast by a horrible invasive species (left) and an Ailanthus altissima.  The spaces between the leaflets are crescents.

Different view of the ailanthus shadow without mine.

Cherry crescent rolls.  Now I'm hungry.
