Words almost fail me as to how to describe the solar eclipse! It was truly spectacular, amazing and incredible, and I am so glad that Mike re-worked the entire road trip to facilitate our being here in Paducah, Kentucky with the DeCillis family to experience first-hand this spectacular event!

Among our fellow eclipsers was Jim Petterman, a highly talented photographer who spent the entire time hidden behind his monstrous camera recording every minute change in the sun as it became hidden by the moon, and every move made by his fellow eclipsers!

Being of a generous disposition, Jim very kindly gave me a copy of all the images he had taken and so, for the next 72 blogs I will be sharing his work! HA!!

Here are just a few of his incredible pictures to capture your imagination.
