Partial solar eclipse

Partial solar eclipse

We also have a partial solar eclipse this morning (about 69% peak where I live) but the skies did not cooperate and this was as much coverage as we got before the sun moved behind a cloud layer.

You have a choice between wildflowers or flat rock this morning as the foreground interest 😜

Do not go to Sea Lion Caves, it's a waste of money and a tourist trap. Newport pier/wharf you can get closer to the Sea Lions for FREE, and they have other touristy stuff (Mo's, Ripley's, Food) as well. Just my 2 cents as a former Oregonian.
