When I pay attention I find inspiration in unexpected places. Such was the case yesterday when we spent the day visiting and hiking around Fort Ross. The Fort was established in 1812 by Russian traders and was purchased by the State of California in 1908. The oldest original structure dates back to 1836. It was such a treat to explore some of California's history with the hypnotic sound of breaking waves in the distance.
View from the tower.
The hikes in the area are beautiful even in winter.
One example of door hardware at the fort.
Um...yes! Apothecary jars and natural specimen!
Give me a cabinet of curiosities any day.
A charming painted bed in one of the homes.
Detail of one of the benches.
The interiors had a "Jack and Jill"/Axel Vervoordt feel.
My favorite of the door handles on display there.
