Contemplating the Moon Cake

 In this impromptu iPhone capture of the unveiling of the Moon Cake, three people

are wearing glasses. Roger Abe's are the most askew, Betty Arnold peers over hers.

Joan Zimmerman, in blue, self-possessed as usual, smiles through her specs.

The only other recognizable person in the photo is dear Ann Bendixen,

between Roger and Betty.

The event was the moon-viewing of this year at Carol Steele's house in Capitola.

September 26, 2015.

And here is a portrait of the moon cake itself, 

which fortunately 

is not wearing glasses.

Instead, it is ready to be eaten,

and is providing its own plastic forks.
