So we built a simple homemade pinhole viewer so we could safely view the eclipse and headed toward the coast.  And when we got to the beach, the coastal clouds were in full effect, creating a natural filter for viewing, not to mention some pretty spectacular skies.

I love that we got to enjoy this rare sight in such a beautiful place!
