Henry Coe Fall 2010

90 minutes away from SF and you're in an oak woodland wonderland. My first backpacking trip! I love getting to a place on my own two feet.

Early am foggy photos & sun soaked blown out pm photos, but still worth posting.

home sweet swampy home.

Lessons learned: cotton is bad. chocolate is key. and good people, essential.

a weekend of goodbyes...

goodbye garage sales are good.
little precious pieces to remember you.

sausage satisfaction

first fresh tomato sauce of the summer. not my own maters but goodness!

best wedding weekend ever.

Jamie & Sarah's Wedding weekend started with the discovery that my neighborhood wishing tree was transformed into a love tree. You can add your love notes to the tree....what a perfect start to a weekend of love!

destination: pescadero. home of the world's best artichoke stuffed garlic bread.

the wedding took place at pie ranch--a beautiful working farm that is a leader in the Bay's food movement. Go there on the third Saturday of the month for a community work day+potluck+barn dance!

i guess there was a love tree @ the wedding too!

Every detail @ the wedding from the friend-grown flowers to the artwork on the program was done with thoughtfulness, love, and the support of friends and family that embodies Jamie & Sarah.

Dinner was touched with local foods grown on the same farm we dined on. Menu highlights: fig+brie+honey bruschetta, white bean + rosemary dip, pesto corn pizza, a trio of complimentary salads-beet and goat cheese, avocado and yellow pepper, gorgeous greens.

Beautiful Maureen!
Adam, Daniel & Sarah were my fearless tribe that weekend.
Yes, we braved poison oak and skunks and family volleyball courts and losing our way.

te amo - maria y blaire

dapper defined. well, dapper after a few classes of wine...

Adam & Sarah have even more radical pics up too.

Thank you Jamie & Sarah & Adam & Daniel & Sarah McCoy for a weekend of inspiration of love of ocean of good grub and feet in the sand.

casa de tomales beach

hog island. closed to man.
you could hear the bird party from about a half mile away.

adventuring made possible by: the beasty volvo, the man of the sea, and the many friends who contributed tales of tomales bay trips and gear that kept us warm & dry. Thank you!!
