a place where nature, photography and writing meet
We left the McCloud River area a few days ago, and wandered along in the general direction of the redwood coast. Our path led us through the town of Willits, and back to the Phoenix Bread Company – a bakery that my friend and I discovered on last year’s journey. We were hoping to score […]
