He is a firefighter and she is a PICU nurse.
I think it's safe to say that these 2 are thrill seekers and that they thrive under pressure, which is just one of the many reasons that they are the perfect match for each other. I never tire of watching couples who are in love and just so excited about getting married and starting their lives together. I love that these images celebrate these 2 special people.... dancing, laughing and simply enjoying each other.

(08.29.10 @ 09:56 PM)Lost Valley Ranch is celebrating 50 years of successful business in the guest ranching business and this book will be a pictorial tribute to the beauty of that success.
The goal of this book is to appropriately represent the timeless essence of Lost Valley Ranch and the unique impact it has made on the lives of guests and staff over 5 decades.
The book is being created for anyone and everyone who has ever spent time at Lost Valley, with the hope that this collection of iconic images and words can articulate and immortalize the character of this ranch.
************************************
Like almost everyone who's ever crossed the Lost Valley cattle guard, our affection for the ranch is profound and passionate.
But every time we tried to articulate the magic of "the ranch," we found ourselves at a loss: How do you encapsulate the wonder of something as seemingly 'regular' as a dude ranch in the Colorado Rockies? How do you convey your intimate connection to a place that hundreds of other people feel just as much personal ownership of? And how do you begin to do justice to the potency of adventure that the ranch has exuded - and endured - throughout the past fifty years?
Then we realized something profound. The most unique thing about the ranch is its sameness... across 5 decades. The more we asked people to describe "Lost Valley Ranch," the more we heard the same things. Again and again. It didn't matter what decade they visited, what their family was like, or how old they were. They fell in love with the timeless essence of Lost Valley.
That's when we stumbled on to the fact that - while one person's verbalization of what they love about the ranch can never really describe how great it is - a collection of images could actually paint a very complete picture. So, the hope is to present a collection of iconic images that represent the magnitude of the Lost Valley experience... a way to honor and immortalize its truly epic essence.
Timing and others details about the book will be coming soon!
These pictures make my heart ache!! I miss this place and the people so much. Thanks for putting this together with Tara. I can't wait to buy the book.
