A bit late, but this is actually from Michael Shainblum Photography, moments before totality, in the eclipse of August 21st, 2017.
On his Facebook page, he said “This is a single exposure.
Huge thanks to Tommy van Smith for climbing and Ted Hesser, Martina Tibell for coordinating. Also thanks to Andrew Studer Visuals and Sean Parker Photography for the incredible experience and help!”
Her outfit also looks oddly (but not quite) Native American… I’m thinking they might have done that on purpose.
For one thing, she’s no teenager, so her skirt would be shockingly short if it’s not a costume of some type.
I wish I could read the sign she’s holding… maybe the store has a fake Native American name, or it’s in a town with a name like that..Local advertising back then tended to jump on something like that as a theme.
It’s not the biggest, but one of the most regular. Still, people think it’s like clockwork, but it’s not. There can be half an hour to just over an hour between eruptions.
The average interval has gotten longer over the 150 years or so since its discovery.
Funny thing… early exploration parties used to lay their clothes over it, to be washed in the boiling water when it erupted, and gather them afterward.
About a third of the population, aside from the one bear, is neither cats, nor owls, but some other animal, with bulging eyes, small ears on top of its head, and a pink tongue hanging out.
What is it? I’m guessing it’s supposed to be a pug?
And yeah, that bear isn’t very roguish. More like embarrassed.

Dignified old guy.
it even looks like he has old guy bushy eyebrows….
of course this could be a dignified old gal

Got to hand it to Tommy van Smith for thinking he could watch the eclipse from up there and still be able to see well enough to climb back down!
I’m hoping he’s facing the camera, not the sun.
No big difference with most cameras.
Protective goggles rule.

Love the “Keep on Truckin'” nun!
Maybe she’s a Nazi nun

Mmmmm…silky basset ears…the trademarked epitome of softness.

Wanna go for a swim with me?
And to think I used to worry about aligators in my toilet bowl…

So it’s either a albino zebra, or a horse with a bad hair day.
A blond Zebra?
Yes…. An albino zebra, when this color also known as a golden zebra. It can also be called a white zebra.
They’re very rare… even rarer are the ones that are all white.
and the lions would say: yes, that’s how we like them–rare
Actually, I read that albino zebras are more vulnerable to both predators and biting flies…. sniffle….
Now that’s a horse of a different color…

The kitty on the right looks like he wants to rip this squirrel apart.
I was thinking they both do…. If squirrels understood glass they’d be grateful for it.

Do you think she can also play the spoons?
I think she must be the Queen of Spoons.

I was going to download it and search it and all that….
But that’s when I discovered that the file name says
“Julie-London-holding-her-basset”.

Do we want to go through town or take the bypass?
find the rogue bear
👍
Got him.
Doesn’t look very rogue-ish. More like, “What the heck am I doing here?”
Cats, owls
And another animal.
I had forgotten to mention the pugs.
She said sheepishly…

Not nice, kitty!
But what is that thing?
A mongoose?
I’d search but I’m up way past my bedtime… well, past the time I need to get offline to have a reasonable bedtime.
I’m guessing either a lemur or a meerkat.
Google search didn’t identify it… in fact the stupid AI said it was a cat reacting to a human squeezing its face (!)
But I think you’re right… not a lemur, but a meerkat.
I didn’t think they got that big, but apparently they can be over a foot long.
You’re not supposed to try to keep them as pets… but who knows what’s going on. The cat definitely thinks it’s a bad idea
My best guess is — watch last week’s “Get Fuzzy” cartoons on GoComics…

Cleo, you’d best be shoveling more than coal…it’s getting pretty deep in there!
This has strong language and adult intent.
It’s, therefore, quite funny.

Indigo Bunting.
He’d be a bluebird, but the name was already taken.
Besides, he wasn’t happy enough!
