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 her sketches of birds.

When Things Go Awry...

… sometimes it’s just easier to rip the knitting back down to the lifeline, which I eventually did, but not before attempting complex string surgery…
