Now that things have quieted down a little, and the weather is still so perfect, the real fun begins.  We did a little day-tripping to the big blue advil (Lake Tahoe), just a hop skip and a jump south of our studio, and the little one had a chance to frolic in Emerald Bay!

A pretty ribbon on a package is so nice...and a virtual ribbon is too!  We've noticed these darling little ribbons popping up all over web design these days.  Here some styles we came up while playing around with color and ornament overlay. 

We are super excited to have just completed our two color map of Yosemite National Park.  Yosemite is a place that has a lot of meaning for us, and that we try to go to as often as possible.  Chip spent a lot of time in the valley big wall climbing, and now we hope to bring our little one there every year to experience its sublime beauty.  Here are some images of the map and of our memories in Yosemite.

This immense valley lies just north of Truckee.  We went here on a bridwatching mini-expedition and were amazed by what we found.
