Sending out Jana and Nii’s album this week. It’s always wonderful to relive the wedding through the narrative of an album. The energy and mood of the day comes through as you turn the pages and interact with each images individually and in sequence.
Here a few images of their album, and some spreads that I love:
This afternoon Tracy and Ryan took me on a little drive down into the Santa Cruz mountains to check out the site of their September wedding, the Pima Osel Ling Mountain Retreat.
The retreat is a place of peaceful and serene natural beauty, and I suspect that Tracy and Ryan will fill the entire place with boisterous fun; costume party rehearsal dinner, toasting with mead made of honey from Tracy’s beehive and possible impromptu whiffle ball games. The ceremony will take place at the foot of a grove of redwood trees:
And looking up from below – breathtaking:
Can’t wait for their wedding.
I actually crossed three lanes of traffic to pull over and capture this double rainbow. It was this vibrant in person. I’ve never seen a rainbow that was so distinctly a prism like this. It was breathtaking.
Yesterday was my birthday. A fact which Trent wrote on the dining room wall – a la Dwight Shrute. This gesture had to be one of my favorite all time birthday cards. We had a big birthday dinner last night – squeezing in an impressive amount of people and two dogs, and it was wonderful. Many of the fantastic people we have met here in San Francisco all came together. I’m so grateful to have such a fantastic group of people, all eating and drinking together.
Thanks to all who were able to come over, and to everyone who send their birthday wishes. It was a lovely evening.
