Round the House: Best-1 Humming Bird Feeder
Manufactured by Best Feeders Inc. in Poteet, TX., the Best-1 Hummingbird Feeder is one of my favorite bits of outdoor paraphernalia. Really easy to fill and clean and just looks plain money with with the screen printed bottle.

The Bookworm, West Yellowstone
Pics from the wife of The Bookworm in West Yellowstone. Looks like a great combo of books, vintage Yellowstone pennants and other ephemera. I managed to score the neonish YS pennant, thanks honey.

Richard Bickel’s Apalachicola
We always make an effort to stop into Richard Bickel’s shop when we make it down to Apalachicola. Truly amazing imagery that speaks volumes about the people and the place in which they were captured.

Alico Hiking Boots – Planning Ahead
