Visiting Paul and Kay, June, 2009

We visited Paul and Kay June 4-6, 2009. The weather was gently warm, and the long evenings were wonderful for eating leisurely on the back deck. I enjoyed walking through their home throughout the days and evenings, casually shooting as the light changed. This was an utterly peaceful visit, a good chance to visit before the busy wedding that lay ahead.



Throughout the day, we are invariably drawn to the kitchen, not only for watching Paul and Kay prepare meals (or Paul bake bread), but to talk over Paul's exquisite coffee.



The back has been nicely developed for the years. In addition to the extensive lawn (which I'm glad I don't have to mow), there is Kay's garden and the wooded area with paths and a special place where Paul likes to read under the trees, in solitude. Unlike me, he is an avid and disciplined reader.

The grandcat:

I never have to wonder what time it is. Kay's father and grandfather were excellent wood workers and left them a number of clocks. I forgot to shoot the largest, the grandfather clock.
