  1. My husband loved the bike pictures, he’s an avid biker and wished he was there riding! My favorites were the pic of the b&b and of course that delicious sunset photo. How awesome!!!!

  2. Hi Sandra, Your photography is stunning…the lighting on the building in your “movie set” shot is phenomenal! Your bike picture is fabulous…I love how the curve of the road leads your eye toward the water! I’m so happy you threw in a sign picture (I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who takes pictures of signs!) The outer wall of your B & B is spectacular…thanks for another great window shot! Your sunset is breathtaking! The lines of the gate are captured so superbly against that amazing sky! BUT…I have to say my very favorite picture is of those gorgeous flowers against the rock!!! They are MY colors and you made my eyes dance with that beautiful photo 🙂 Thanks for that!
    It looks like Steve is really soaking in the moment of his wine tasting! Keep enjoying!
    Lots of Love, Lois 🙂

  3. Thank you for sharing your room and the surroundings with us. The planting in spectacular. I was wondering are the wines aged in deep caves where you are? I know the wineries in California use beautiful old casks and I am sure the French wineries as the mother country of wines are even more spectacular

  4. jealousy heaped on jealousy! LOL
    Tell Steve to have a couple glasses of the wine for me 😉
    Love the caravan of pandas and the little guy (is that mini B?) hitching a ride on Humphrey

  5. Happy Wine Tasting!!! What a way to spend a day, LOL!! Looking forward to your photos…. love that sunset shot and the expression on that dog’s face at the winery… wonder how many times he’s had to pose for pictures with his mom…. if he could have put his paw in front of his face he would have, LOL!!

  6. That pic of the sunset was gorgeous, so orange!

    Your B&B looks comfy, and Steve looks happy…hope he is enjoying his favorite winery and you are too!
    You keep acquiring more “kids”, you can find a panda no matter where you go, lol
