hiking with a side of lunch - stinson beach

San Francisco has had absolutely beautiful weather this week and so today i took advantage of that and went up north to Stinson beach for a hike and a bit of lunch - down through some prehistoric looking forests fully alive with maiden hair fern, mosses and lots of wild flowers including a wild orchid and iris -

then out into the cute little town of stinson - it really reminds me of my new england upbringing with is beachy colors and charming little buildings

hope you all enjoyed your saturdays too!

simple sundays

this morning i wanted to share one of my little collections - i have a few of these around my house and all of the objects have been collected in my travels, this one has grown quite extensive -

but here are a few of the places these items have come from, bolinas CA, New Mexico, Ireland, France, Boston, Utah, Pacifica CA.
