Love the lamellata flower, but I'm loving those eclipse shots even more. So glad we went up to see the total eclipse; even 99% is nothing by comparison. The smoke shots are interesting too; never got a shot but I certainly saw the red sun for several days here. The fact that you can see sunspots is incredible...
Yes the eclipse was quite an experience, and completely worth it taking 4 times as long as normal to drive home afterwards.
As for the smoke, I was absolutely floored how clearly visible the sunspots were through it all. I expected a blurry blob but got a really nice shot instead. I need to get my larger telescope set up with a solar filter or buy a barlow for this one so I can see even more detail.
