Celebrations
Nina Whiddon, Carol, and Judith hand back our now empty
champagne glasses.
Judy Anderson and Judith, giggling girlishly.
Landon Noll, raising his glass of after-dinner cognac, wears goggles to
prepare his eyes for dark skies, in anticipation of later star-gazing.
Peter Oberbeck pours a celebratory glass of
champagne.
Bob Stephens, Bill Kramer, and Alson Wong—all wonderful
photographers themselves—pause for a moment to let Carol take a
photo of them.

Landon Noll and Claudio di Santi following totality;
they will be my companions on our three-person
add-on adventure to the Marquesas Islands.
Bob Stephens and Alson Wong caption this image "It's ours, all ours!" but in fact they were generous in sharing. Corona beer is a favorite on
the eclipse tour, since the white, wispy halo around the sun's disk, visible only during totality, is called the corona.
