here is a map of the path of the eclipse (from timeanddate)

If you’re not in the path of totality (the red part), you won’t get to see the full eclipse, but if you’re in the orange parts you’ll still see part of the sun covered!

This does result in funky shadows, like you said:

It’s easiest to see with shadows cast by things like leaves.

You can also make a pinhole projector:

DO NOT look directly at the sun even if it’s a partial eclipse. Use eclipse glasses or something like the pinhole projector I linked above.

One fun effect I’ve noticed during a partial eclipse is that the temperature will significantly drop for a few hours, which is especially noticeable in the summer. It can drop as much as 30 degrees F (~15 degrees C) depending on how much of the sun is covered in your location, so keep an eye out for that as well.

The holes are perfectly round. But in this moment, the sun was not.
