High School Kenton

Family leather document case recently repaired and reconditioned. The case itself says Kenton, but I can't find any other information thus far. There are some illegible scribbles on the interior, probably from my brother circa 1985. It was also my document case during my High School days. The final image is before repair at Mike's of Noe Valley.

Heath Effort

As noted on R4TH, Heath Ceramics donated 25% of sales over a weekend to help Architecture for Humanity in their efforts to aid in the rebuilding of Haiti. Heath was able to raise over $20,000! Pictured here, my new stack mug in white. More HERE

Bolinas

One of our favorite small towns in Northern California, Bolinas is known for it's reclusive residents. Any street markings showing the way to Bolinas have been traditionally removed from Highway 1, so you either know where it is, or you're gonna miss it. Before it became Bolinas, it was the land of the Coast Miwok.

American Tracking

Ornithology at it's finest, KM sends a few picks from the field. From KM, "This is a ferruginous hawk (notice the iron colored (brown red) legs and wing patches).  There is also a roadrunner and American kestrel like a lil pocket falcon.  Note the glove is because they like to bite."
