“Cabin Tour: Townsend, Montana”

_DSC3452

Montana is sky country. I took about 2.4 million photographs of the sky there. You just have no choice when you’re in Montana with a camera. It is a magical place to hunt wild birds. Truly, 100% wild birds. You will walk for hours, maybe days before you see one. And sometimes you will stop …

 

“Ranch Tour: CF Ranch”

This is a little tour of CF Ranch, the first of many ranch tours you’re going to see this Fall and Winter, as I gallivant and escapade (can that be a verb?) and roll around in the mud on all four corners of the earth. I feel that you should roll around in the mud …

“Antique Things”

I have a friend named Paul. He is an artisan in his own right. He owns a set of successful stores in the South but he is an explorer too. He has an eye for interesting things and he gathers them wherever he goes around the world. He’s the one who gave me the Laguiole …

“Old Hunting Photos”

Old Hunting Photos 34

A reader sent these to me and they made me grin. Old photos are such a treat to look at. Don’t you wonder what life was like for the lady in the puffy sleeves holding the shotgun? Or how about the boys? If you happen to know where these photos came from or where they …

“Down Home Style”

If I could pick a car to own right this minute, I believe it would be this one. My restaurant friend up in Sonoma County owns this one. He has a restaurant called Zin in Healdsburg and he grows his own vegetables and raises his own chickens and I imagine he carts them all around …

“Cooking with Grandma P.”

_DSC7538

My grandmother isn’t cooking anymore. She isn’t as mobile as she used to be, which is a loss for her and also a loss for this website since we enjoyed her recipes so much and because I enjoyed cooking with her so much. But I can remember the times we did spend in the kitchen …
