Celestial Patterns...

Eclipse crescents - during the peak of the eclipse, as seen via pinholes through the leaves - Albuquerque, NM, Aug. 21st, 2017

My efforts to document the total eclipse event were not too intense. I felt less inclined as we were not in the path of totality, so the extent of my viewing was via the pinhole eclipse projections onto the sidewalk through the leaves of trees around my house. I also put out some special beads - some labradorite spheres (aka rainbow moonstone) and some hessonite garnet rondelles, varying in shade from almost clear to a deep amber - to bask in the light, or lack thereof, of the eclipse. Sort of an infusion of the power of the celestial bodies.
