Food from the last 24 hours. We went to Giant City State Park and the lodge had an amazing fruit platter and oatmeal for breakfast as well as a bean burger and fries for dinner. We stopped off for lunch at a Chinese restaurant.

The one photo I wanted to be sure to catch during the total eclipse from my vantage point in southern Illinois was the "diamond ring" effect. If the Moon were perfectly smooth, we wouldn't see what are called Baily's Beads. These are when the irregular topography of the edge of the Moon (mountains, valleys, craters, etc) allow bits of the Sun's surface, the photosphere, to peek through. They were named for British astronomer Francis Baily who first provided a detailed description of the phenomena in 1836- though Edmund Halley of Halley's Comet fame did describe them briefly and the cause correctly during his observations of a 1715 eclipse. If you catch it just right in the few seconds before totality or the few second after totality, you get the brightest of the Baily's Beads phenomena, the beautiful diamond ring effect. The trick in photographing it is that you can't see it with a solar filter in place but if you wait too long, the emerging solar disk will be too bright with all the deleterious consequences of looking at it without protection. My photo of the diamond ring effect was right at the end of totality and you can see solar prominences along the limb of the Moon above and below the "diamond". I will be posting other photos from last month's eclipse at my @squawking1200 account. #GreatAmericanEclipse #GreatAmericanEclipse2017 #totaleclipse #solareclipse #solareclipse2017 #GiantCityStatePark #Makanda #Illinois #astrophotography #solarphotography #ScienceGeek #astronomy (at Giant City State Park)

I love how green everything is. As much as I enjoy living in the city, I need to get outside occasionally. The forest and woods help me reset and the vibrant greens act as a visual palate cleanser. #trilliumtrail #giantcitystatepark #shawneenationalforest #gotakeahike #hikeillinois #enjoyillinois #womenwhohike #hikersofcolor #southernillinois #illinois #getoutside #getoutsideandplay #green #forest https://www.instagram.com/p/CDOjxzElqU4/?igshid=qcitwgcz8ola
