The Final Gang!

Today the 5 day retreat ended...and so of course the customary group shot was taken.   This was the first time we've had a retreat last 5 days, and with that came a variety of folks coming and going at various times.   So this is the group that remained....I didn't get any images during the weekend, mainly because i was just too focused on the retreat, then for the past 3 days, when i wasn't attending the retreat, i was too focused on work to get photos of the ongoing group.  Oh well, that's the way it goes!

Everyone left, in dribs and drabs, about 3 hours ago...i went back into the studio to do a bit of work.   Now the house is very quiet.....having roughly 15 extra folks coming and going over 5 days, thro the house etc., has it challenges for sure!   But it's amazing how hard everyone works at keeping the place organized, cleaning dishes, preparing meals etc., and to watch as everyone said their farewells it was clear that it was a very successful retreat and everyone had a wonderful time.  And that is the main thing.
