These spectacular treats were such an encouragement to me, especially when my energy was waning. I loved being immersed in God's glory & treasured walking at snail's pace. Butterflies & weeds. So precious!

I love French shutters - they bring back happy memories of when my parents retired to France.

Right now I'm in Texas and the ecilpsed sun is mostly covered (it will go total in about 5 minutes). Sitting in a meadow with blue bonnets and it feels like each has its own small butterfly.

Edit: The internet must be busy. Two attempts to get the photo uploaded have failed. Totality is over.

Upload failed again. First pic is 10 minutes after instead of before. Not as many butterflies; they must have gone to bed.


Sun crescents projected between tree leaves and meadow during totality.

I edited my post above. It was quite a show over all.
