Eclipse!

My house in Kansas City was within the path of totality ("totality" - the Word of the Year 2017), so I got to enjoy the event from my deck.  Here are a couple pictures, taken with my iPhone, of the eclipse during totality.  The pics aren't great, but do show the light-ringed black ball in the sky.  I was trying to take the pics quickly and then just enjoy the view for as long as it lasted.  Anyway, here's the view of the great eclipse of 2017 from my backyard!

Just Some Seasonal Pictures

I felt like updating the blog with some seasonal pictures, so here they are!
