Today's Walk

Took a walk on nearby hill ...beauty all around, with city far out in the distance. So nice to have clear skies after weeks of smoke from the fires a couple hundred miles away

What you can do if you are not cooking!

Sure it is a shot that has been taken many many times (a shot at love?!).  Walking down the Embarcadero after seeing show (art) up from a friend. His work so powerful and beautiful, though the message is not light. 

Started late in the afternoon, after doing some work in the morning, but was glad to escape to make even a bigger "mark" of not doing the cooking this year for holiday. Sisters took it over this year..yeah!

Ready for Glaze Fire

Peacock finally gets used

Peacock platter finally gets used for food -- and a Persian food to boot! Ceramics from a few years back I believe.

Repair

A bench I made a few years ago had some issues that needed to be addressed. Chip in paint, pulling apart on one side, and some wood damage (next time I pick a different wood for outdoors that gets rain).

Was interesting to repair and restore. I wasn't perfect on the wood repair part, but I forged new paths (ha..some of it was a gouging tool), doing it step-by-step over period of time.
