Feathers of Hope

A weblog on nature and place, the design arts, critters, and baseball...

Who We Are

Numenius is a geographer by training and temperament. He is a Bay Area native, and grew up roaming the East Bay hills. Pica takes her cue from Pica nuttalli, the endemic magpie of central California, chatty and alighting on gleaming things. Pica has another blog, Bird by Bird, in which she records a sketch of a bird per day.

Above 9000 Feet

I’m back now from Colorado, land of the aspens and steep, beautiful mountains.
