Eclipse Excitement
A change in our plans this summer has us back at Lincoln City and we are excited! It looks like the weather is even cooperating! We know that the chance of cloud cover is still "in the cards" but we will take whatever the weather offers us on Monday for we are excited about just being able to experience a total eclipse!
Lindy had ordered a solar filter for her zoom lens, even! She researched taking pictures of the solar eclipse on line, and printed out a few articles. Her research on that lens was not complete, however, as Amazon sent an email stating that the seller could not confirm the safety of the lens. Hence, Amazon would refund the cost of the lens, which didn't need to be returned, along with a warning to NOT use the lens in taking pictures of the eclipse.
Okay, fine! After in depth research confirming Amazon's decision, Lindy also discovered advise that suggested persons experiencing the total eclipse for the first time NOT worry about taking any pictures. Instead, enjoy the experience! So, by golly, that is what we are going to! Check out the link on What You'll See During the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse.
After ensuring the dogs are safe in the motor home, we will gather our chairs on the small section of grass at the front of our lot ready to take in the full experience of the "total eclipse!" We will have a thermometer to measure the temperature drop, if any, of course our solar eclipse glasses, and probably Lindy will have some sort of variation on a pin-hole camera type to "see" the eclipse!
Tune in later for our "results!"
