Description
The past couple of days we've been at Rhythm Waters on Whidbey Island in Washington State. This is a wonderful piece of property (you can see what it looks like here in Bill's gallery).
We arrived on Thursday afternoon and will be here until Sunday afternoon.
Today (Saturday) three of our friends came to visit. One of them is a minister, and she did us the honor of marrying us. So ... it's official! We're well and truly married. Our friends have left for the mainland, and we're sitting here drinking some mighty fine 30-year-old homemade wine, surfing on Renderosity, enjoying each other's company.
It's only fitting, since this is where we met, and it's what we both love to do.
To those friends who already knew ... thank you so much for your support these past few months!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! to you both: May you Live as long as you Love and may you Love as long as you Live! BTW great image
Congratulations!!! What lovely news! Beautiful image! Excellent light and reflections. I like the combination of angular shadows and curved ones. The curved shadow looks like a space ship.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations to two wonderful folks and great friends! I am so happy for you both!! What Faemike said goes for me, too!! And what a lovely photo to celebrate! I love the light in this both the ambient light and the light from the lantern. Just beautiful!! Hey, enjoy that wine! Hope you didn't have to resort to a pair of vise-grips to open it! LOL! BTW, Jolene found a corkscrew in an old box last week, so we're all set next time you two are in town! LOL!
Congratulations, and it's a beautiful image, too. ;o)

First off: Поздравляем! Gratulujeme! Congratulations! Okay, I think I spelled Congratulations in Russian and in Czech. Or at least I hope I said Congratulations in Russian and not some odd word like "Albatross." Anyway, Congratulations!!!! What wonderful news! I'm conveying congratulations from Corey and from Victor as well! And on top of all of that, this is a fantastic shot! Really top notch! And again, Congratulations.
Gorgeous work and mood! Looks fantastic
YAY! Congratulations, my friends. May you have a WONDERFUL and happy time together. I hope the wine is good and you enjoy the beautiful place. This is a superb still life. I really love this image. Well done :-D
Fabuloso image for a WONDERFUL occasion! My warmest wishes wing their way to you both!!! HOOORAH! (3 times!)
Congratulations and beautiful image...
Good control of the light.
Congratulation and wish long happiness. This capture is so warm as a mood right now I guess.
WONDERFULL news......many many congratulations....
(I was gonna say something like, "you're getting married???" Or "who to???" Or maybe, "Bill who???" But I decided to forego the bad jokes...) I am so happy for you two, and it's so nice you announced it this way, in your gallery where you two met & with this intimate image of light in the quiet shadow of an intimate room, and with a little of your famous glass reflection. (It has some beautiful styled glass btw, and beautiful metal framing (looks late 19th C or early 20th) and some beautiful patterns on the lamp paper itself.) An intimate, quiet image for an intimate quiet marriage; and I hope that sets the tone for your marriage---ie, intimate, gentle, filled with light & discovery & beauty, and always close & dear. Congratulations, you two! And a wonderful infinite path ahead!!! Lots of love! Mark
