So Sunday evening, my friend Sarah and I drove up to a place we thought would be perfect for eclipse viewing. You can see that we were not the only ones with this idea...
and I made cookies.
(you can find that recipe HERE it's a must have)
There were tons of people with fancy equipment. Luckily a nice lady gave us her sons eclipse glasses because he wouldn't wear them. We were very grateful, especially so we didn't have to go blind trying to view the eclipse.
Everyone settled in to enjoy the show...
And when it started everyone around us was cheering. What a show!
The peak of the eclipse/ the ring of fire...
The eclipse causes shadows to take on a crescent shape... See?
We had brought mirrors because one online source said to view it through mirrors... We couldn't figure out exactly what they meant until the eclipse was practically over. Oh well, we had the awesome glasses instead.
just ignore the fact that I look disgusting...
What an amazing experience. We were all in awe over this amazing show.
Set your calendars for 2017 and plan your trips to Wyoming and Idaho to make sure you can view the total solar eclipse!

Wow the eclipse pictures look cool. The location where you went to view is looks really interesting too, I'd love to live in America! Do you live in America? I'm sorry if you don't!
I'd also love a picnic baskets like the one you shared with your friend, I'm going to hunt for one!
It looks like you had a lovely day :) xx

Awesome pictures! I probably wouldn't have figured out the mirror trick.
clearly I should have seen the eclipse in Utah, because in AZ it was sooo bright I couldnt have seen a thing! love your photos!
xx
Wow Gentri you guys really did have such a prime spot! I heard about the eclips but it apparently wasn't going to be very visible in my location and I haven' heard much buzz about it so I'm going to assume nobody else paid much attention to it here either.
Love your photos from your time! Looks like you guys had a blast!
gentri! are you serious?!?! this is amazing! your photos are so, so so soooo cool. you should enter them in a contest! :)
firstly- you guys are so cool to have a picnic
secondly- woah. that is sooo cool. I've never seen an eclipse!
thirdly- you do NOT look disgusting. you look cute.
fourthly- I adore that second to last picture.
the end. :)

I love that mirror picture of the two of you
you don't look gross, don't be ridiculous.
oh and for the record, I had the hookup with solar eclipse glasses.. but ya'll had those mirrors & borrowed glasses. Good job. good job.

how fun! what a great idea for something different to do.
Ah so awesome - I wish I had the opportunity to view it in Germany but we didn't get it here

This sounds beyond amazing!
I missed it. And I kept saying how funny it look outside. I just didn't think to look up. Great pictures
How fun! I definitely didn't even know about it until after it happened... Glad you got some good pics so I could live vicariously!
These photos are AMAZING! You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful and perfect place for this!
oh, lady, you just make me smile so much. i want to go hiking with you & watch an eclipse!!!? what the heck?! what a great spot too. xo.
Yeah I definitely practically blinded myself trying to see the eclipse. We are in a "prime" location here, but we didn't have any special glasses or anything. Ouch! But, when we tried to look and then quickly looked away--the blinks of the sun spots yielded half and cheshire spots instead of full circles ; ] Haha! I'm glad I got to "see" it. ANother thing to cross off my life's to-do list : ]
You live in the most amazing place! I'm absolutely stunned by it. What a great experience, and the photos are great :D
LOVE your photos! I missed it :( So thanks for posting these so I could see!
how fun! totally forgot this was going on! sad i missed it!
Must have been beeeaaauuutttiiifffuuulll!!
AMAZING!!!! I am jealous!
love, polly :D
