Anne-Lise, we went to Canada to experience totality. Diamond ring for sure before and after! It's kind of like putting it on to try and then taking it off. Too bad the marriage or engagement doesn't last longer!

Your Haiku eloquently depicted that exact moment, Anne-Lise. That eclipse was indeed a blessing to see.

Aptly descriptive one about the eclipse. All the pictures I have seen of it are amazing. The way it affected the world in the partial state here was eerie feeling. It lasted a long time as well with only a partial eclipse. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Did you take the picture? Sara K
