Thank you, Ines, and ladies of the S.F. workout field trip.  I had a great time, and an amazing workout with all of you on this gorgeous San Francisco day.  And, as always, your comments are very welcome here on the blog.

This is the view that met us at the top of the stairs.  See what I mean?

So, we had been at this for awhile when I snapped this photo.  I hate to say ‘snapped’, as a professional photographer, but this was my workout too, and Ines was not about to let me get away with ‘I just happened to bring my camera along today’.  Though I taunted her with a few comments prior to our departure that morning about ‘a group shot’ and ‘as a photographer, I must document at least some of this!’  She’s not so tough as to turn down a few shots in between breaths from me.   We were literally on our way down the first set of stairs for a group shot just below the heart sculpture that is obscured by the morning light.  That pretty brick building to the right is the home of former Mayor of San Francisco and Senator Diane Feinstein.  Google it for a great view of the terrace/gardens.

Yep, there we are, our fearless leader, Ines, dead-on in the middle there with that ever-so-lovely banister pointing right at her.  Well, I’m not in there — you all know how that goes, right?

OK, enough about me, on to the bridge!

And, we’re working it!  That handsome man below would be Mr. Bargenquast.  I have the distinct honor in the coming months of photographing this happy man and his wife, Ines, in a maternity session.  I know, you can’t even tell that Ines is expecting!  The only thing that could be better than this is that I also get to photograph their newborn!  You’re going to have to check back here after the New Year folks.

A lot of water out there.

Can you believe we’re smiling?!  Even those two below in the lower right with Ines pushing them onward!

Takes your breath away, doesn’t it?

I think they’ve caught their breath now.

Yes we did!

Pretty girls all in a row.  And, don’t forget to stretch!

Here’s our group ‘tourists’ shot, I love it!  What are you waiting for?  Call NapaFit now!

I don’t really want to say very much about this post, I think the images themselves will speak to the beauty, grace and athletic mastery that is exhibited through this very talented instructor.  Thank you for the lovely experience of working with you, Carla.
