Still in the Alps but on our way to Milan, tour guide Thomas stopped the van long enough for us to climb to this monument. It's an eagle. Have no idea why it's there. An ode to nature's beauty and power?

Wedding season is here! October is such a busy month. Sadly, the rains came, but that that didn't stop couples from exchanging vows and having a grand time with family and friends. These pics are from a wedding at Ducard Vineyard in Madison, Virginia. What a lovely venue. Check it out! Pics are compliments of Non Trin.

Congratulations to Mike and Christina who exchanged vows on Monday, April 11th at the lovely Inn at Court Square in downtown Charlottesville. More pics to follow, they promise me--they are a handsome couple. In the meantime, I snapped these photos at the Inn for you to enjoy. if you are planning to elope, you might want to check out this lovely, historic bed and breakfast (the oldest home in downtown Charlottesville, built in 1785). Oh, and by the way, if you are into antiques, the owners of the Bed and Breakfast also own the antique shop next door and some of the antiques at the B&B are for sale!
