You think you have a lot of picnics in your life. You think of yourself as the kind of person who goes for lazy picnics on beautiful Spring afternoons. But then if you think back and really try to count them up, there's only a few. Only a few such picnics that you can really recall. And well, this was one of ours.

Matthias Finke had flown all the way from from Germany to visit Stephanie Holmes, our lovely bassoonist and singer, and to see her play. I guess she sang well, since we are delighted that now they are husband and wife! He wandered off and took these photographs while we took a nap."
