Picnic at the vineyards

Posted by & filed under Franklin Fun, Photography, The Faires Family.

We went with my sister’s family and my Mom to a gorgeous vineyardright outside of Franklin on Saturday night for a picnic supper and to let the kids run and run and get all their wriggles out. The live music and gorgeous scenery were a perfect backdrop to the children running up and down the rows or grape vines and snacking on the sweet (and occasionally sour!) grapes. A lovely way to sit back and enjoy a summer evening in July!

(And yes, I took a hundred photos. Actually, three hundred and fourteen. Be glad I can edit even as much as I do!)

    >It is so sweet what good friends Oliver and Beatrice are. I loved the picture of them holding hands, and then the two of them smiling at each other on the swing. So precious.

    >Looks like a great picnic! We drove through the Franklin/Nashville area Saturday afternoon coming home from our vacation, and the weather was just perfect and I sat thinking what a beautiful place it would be to live. You are so blessed!

    >Time For Lemonade (even though your comments keep not showing up!) – I put together these collages in Photoshop. I think PuglyPixel.com has Photoshop templates you can use (and I sometimes do). I just scraped these together myself. Glad you like them! :)

    >The McKinleys – I use a Canon Rebel Xsi. I think it's a few generations old now since I got it two or three years ago. But it's a Canon and it's a digital SLR – this would probably be a comparable model: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CBKJGG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=finmyfee-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=B001CBKJGG

    The lens I used for the vineyard photos was a 55m f/1.8 prime lens (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007E7JU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=finmyfee-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=B00007E7JU) It usually runs right around $100 and it's my very favorite lens to use!
