The father of the bride looks at his daughter with love as she prepares to enter.

This is all natural light - the light on his face comes from sunlight reflecting off an open door behind the bride. I couldn't have arranged such wonderful light myself.

This mallard bumped the female wood duck off the log. They shared the log for a minute and continued to primp themselves.

He's such a princess!

This little girl was one of the more shy attendants at Dogtoberfest, 2006. Her "mother" held her closely and despite choosing to participate in the Pint-Sized Play group, never actually set her down and let her play. I don't know if it was more for mom or the princess, but she remained safe the entire day. Mom was even a bit skeptical of allowing me the opportunity to photograph her child so I suspect the former.

Either way, I was happy to catch her image.

Hairspray everywhere as makeup and styling is getting underway.

You better finish primping quickly!

Here's a photo from my close encounter with the young female bobcat.

I never get the mirror to myself anymore.

I primped all day for the social event of the year - The annual holiday party in New Jersey. I hadn't been there long when I started not breathing well. I got my breathing machine and hid in a back bathroom for awhile. It wasn't helping. I did NOT want to leave this party, I had been waiting all year. Luckily I have some AMAZING friends who sat with me, calmed me down, and finally ended up running red lights to get me to the local hospital. After a few hours they admitted me and took me up to my room. So much for enjoying the social event of the year. :(

On our last day in Boston, Robert decided to try out the super-sweet bathrobe provided by our hotel. You can buy one from the Nine Zero for like $150. No thanks.

Cate was our third host in San Francisco. She lives in an adobe house, does compostage and went to Burning Man - a Mad Max festival in Nevada's desert where not even a drop of water can fall on the floor so that the nature is not changed.
