bizzini spring

the predictability of christie's annual family and friends easter/spring gathering: the kids' growth surpasses the adults' aging, dirt and walnut ink stains, acres and acres of open roaming and games in the orchards, food for all, laughter and stories, turns taken driving the current farm vehicle, dogs, goats, chickens, new blooms in christie's garden, bonfire, fireworks, the culminating of friends and family (and always the missing of somebody who had to work, since most are law enforcement). these are for you, especially aunt pat, who was dearly missed. download as you wish, open them up to view them larger.
aunt pat, christie, bobbie, see my last note, almost at the end of the images. love you guys.

Pretty sure that doesn't belong in his ear. :)

love love love the flying insects all lit up

I've pondered the location of the Andriese family portrait. The ocean. The mountains. Yosemite. King's Canyon. Aunt Pat asked it be in the Modesto area. Dana Gookin suggested the lovely locale of Knight's Ferry and although that would be a wonderful spot, I can't think of any place more personally suited than the Bizzini property, in the orchard, at sunset. Let me know what you think. In my mind, all signs point home. - Kerri
