I love the shot of the vineyard with all the rays (wide angle lens?) — and the second reflection shot and the fountain. Looks like a neat spot for a class — and perhaps for some ’24′s’.

I like the pics of the trees reflected in the water. :wave:

@slmret -

Yep, that would be the 16-35mm. Love that lens!

@SingingMom -

Reflections are one of my favorite things to shoot. Anytime I see water I try to get our couples over there.

@portiajules -

Tanks! It was cool and it looks like we will be doing 3 more. It is one of those fun things to do even tho it is work to put together.

ShutterbugTim - February 20, 2009 - 10:50 AM

Beautiful pictures here…and congrats to the couple! I hope all is well!

Tim

slmret - February 20, 2009 - 10:56 AM

ryc — I’m glad you came back and explained — I would have never figured out who that was!!! It’s been beautiful here for the last couple of days (after I got caught in a hailstorm on Monday!). And it’s always fun for me to discover new places — I’ll have to go back to that one and explore some more. How’s the political climate up there, now that the budget is passed?!

joyfulphotography - February 20, 2009 - 11:07 AM

Hey! Congratulations. These are beautiful photos. I will watch for that magazine. It will be fun to see them in print.
Enjoy our few days of sunshine!
Hope all is well.

MJ10554 - February 22, 2009 - 3:19 AM

Congrat’s on both couple’s. I’ll keep my eyes open for the magazine also.

I know you guys are so proud.

@slmret -

Lol!!!! Yeah you would have never guessed. That is an old site of Brian’s when he was using some celtic name or something…haha.

Hmmm the political climate. I dont know where this is all going to end with printing a trillion dollars and maybe more later. But here is what I recently heard. If you spent a million dollars a day for 2000 years you still wouldnt have spent a trillion dollars. Kinda gives you an idea of what is being done right now. I am concerned for the future, to say the least.

@MJ10554 -

Hey Mickie! How are things? I am happy to see you. We are busy and having a hard tine keeping the blog up! We find facebook an quicker way to stay in touch with people. It is also so much more widespread that we can keep up with family and friends who dont have xanga and dont want to deal with setting up a site. We will always keep the blog but we are much more vocal on facebook. So if you ever sign up be sure to visit us. Mark has his own and I have my own and we have a business one but we use our personal ones more.

slmret - February 22, 2009 - 6:50 PM

@lydellphoto - Well I was actually thinking about the political climate in Sacramento, and the State budget. I find it rather telling that one of the big sticking points was furniture for the Controller’s Office! That’s an awful statistic about spending — supposedly it should all come back in increased taxes, and in repayments as the banks gain strength, but it’s sure hard to see that happening at that level! I think it’s going to be a LONG haul — I’m actually wondering if I should go back to work, perhaps on a part-time temp basis.

lydellphoto - February 23, 2009 - 6:16 AM

@slmret -

yeah it is looking pretty bad out there. The forecast looks pretty gray and dismal for some time. I hope they turn around but I am afraid it will be difficult to pull out of all the spending we are doing.
