Last year I had the pleasure of working with famed documentary film director, Doug Pray and acclaimed producer, Pete Vogt during the Wild Mind workshop that they put on in the Methow Valley.  The workshop was an incredible experience on so many levels and the people I met there are (as my Nana Carol likes to say, “Out of this world.”)

During the 49ers weekend I happened to spot the identical twin sisters that I shot in the above video.  Naturally I caught up with the girls’ after the Winthrop parade to say hello and chat with their mom and grandmother.  And now we’ve been emailing about them staying at Spring Creek Ranch.

I love it when this sort of thing happens.

This weekend marks our first wedding of 2013 and I am oh, so happy to be hosting Kayla and Jesse’s wedding at Spring Creek.  Daren and I have been working all spring to get the ranch ready for the upcoming events, pouring a concrete walkway, installing underground sprinklers, mowing, building a new split rail fence, mowing, more sprinklers and running power to the far corners of our main yard.  Did I mention sprinklers or mowing?  We installed a lot of sprinklers over the last month.  Daren’s Irish relatives should be proud.

Can’t wait to post some images from the wedding next week, but for now a few snaps from our last days of chores.

It seems rather fitting to share this time lapse video here and now, while so much is going on at the ranch- yet so little of it has been reported here.  Concrete, colts, children, sprinklers, fences, bridges, kittens- will soon grace this space, I promise.  As for the early spring hiatus from sharing the goings on at Spring Creek Ranch, well that is just because most of my days have felt like they’ve happened in accelerated, time lapsed imagery.
