in which our plucky heroine travels to K Falls for a wedding of dear friends, with an unexpected side journey to Crater Lake...
'twas a long drive from Portland to Klamath Falls, on a sunny September afternoon
There is an incredible quality of light in the high country, and the sunset colors are vivid
After the wedding rehearsal, Vandy made some last minute alterations in the brides gown...
...while Stacy, the lovely bride-to-be, used some of her creative skills to add a personal touch to the wedding favors.
The next day would be the big event...
(our plucky heroine bossed the sparkly springy ribbon around, and tied neat bows on pairs of candles)
To be continued, with more pictures, tomorrow...

there was a very fancy hat decorated for this event, (the bride had requested that we all wear "fabulous hats"), with lots of
organza roses made from shot silk. Making the roses was not too difficult, though the organza was quite springy. I followed the general guidelines posted
here The roses are one of my Make and Mend items, being made from a gifted large remnant of silk, that matched my summertime party dress perfectly

My dear mother, noticing my struggles on more than one occasion to identify the pretty things I photograph, just sent me a field guide to North American wildflowers. What an excellent addition to my reference books... thank you Mom!
