(pentax k1000, kodak ektar 100, set to ISO 400)

how i am in love with this "blue hue" bamboo, no doubt a fluke of my mishap at setting my ISO too high.

we have decided, at last (!) after a 2 year engagement (that took place in China, no less) to set a date and marry beneath this plant we love so much, in a place that has become almost sacred to us, come winter. this time of year will be mild, green, beautiful, and cool, as is the case in our region. an intimate gathering of immediate family and close friends, something simple with little fuss.

i am terrible at planning such things, so the challenge begins. one that i welcome with a small measure of angst. i can't wait to say "i do".
