I remembered this from the partial eclipse in texas in the 80's or late 70's So it didn't surprise me this time. I think many people miss it because they are only focused upwards. That forget to look down. The eclipse shadows are never mentioned in the literature I read.

Santa Monica beach, CA P.S. That's the same kid as in my photo from yesterday - my nephew - he's in HS now

I already used the Exorcist steps, so this is the next best photo I have from Joshua Tree National Park. That rock looked precariously perched on that slope...

It is a bear. Swam the whole way across the lake. Came up on the bank just down from our campsite.
