I love it when customers’ random flavor selections make such pretty plates! I made 3 platters like this for a delightful new customer. She’s taking them to the memorial service of a dear friend...some years back, they had travelled to Paris together and took a macaron class, so she wanted to honor her friend and that memory of that wonderful time spent together by serving macarons. One of the best parts about my macaron business is all the lovely, interesting customers I have...I truly have met so many delightful people, and I love chatting with them and hearing their stories!
Cleaning up after our brew at @independent_brewing_co. Thanks Steve for the great spot and fun day. Brewed a slightly hazy, easy drinking pale ale to kick off summer, and our opening day of June 30th. Wait, did we just say that out loud? #canyonclubbrewery #moraga #lamorinda #craftbeer #independentbrewery #biergarten #openingdayisjune30
While we do believe our contractors are amazing, we only wish that progress went this fast. Special thanks to @toolboxvideoservices for the great footage. It’s like kids, it all goes by in a blur so we’re grateful to have these moments captured. #moraga #canyonclubbrewery #lamorinda #craftbeer #biergarten #buildingabrewery #toolboxvideoservices #timelapsemagic #theygrowupsofast
Our hand made flight paddles arrived today from @davelewisdesigns. We could never have afforded the craftmanship contained in these paddles if it wasn’t for the passion and generosity from this local family. You should order a flight just to see these up close...or to get 4 beers at one time without being weird. #buildingabrewery #craftbeer #lamorinda #biergarten #flightpaddle #davelewisdesigns #canyonclubbrewery #moraga
Orinda Formation conglomerate and the Caldecott Tunnels - more wanderings in my local Cali Coast Ranges and Franciscan Subduction Complex
Pic 1 and 7 looking east at the parallel alignment of imbricated (directionally stacked) Orinda Formation pebbles including high/pressure blueschist facies pebbles ...you can see the imbrication in pic 6
Pics 2-5 Geologic cross section of the recently completed Caldecott Tunnel 4th bore.
West end: Leona volcanics (>150 myo) were rafted into place during active subduction of the Farallon tectonic plate.
East end: Moraga volcanics erupted locally ~10mya. They conformably overlie the grey Orinda Formation conglomerate as witnessed by a red baked zone at the contact (zoom in on pic 8)
Pic 6 looking north you can see the Orinda Formation pebbles are nicely imbricated to show the direction of sediment flow was eastward .. so they were deposited during a time of reverse topography from what is seen today. ...in other words there were high hills to the west that have eroded away.
Pic 8 looking west across the freeway at the contact between the Orinda and Moraga formations, it’s easier to see how subduction-related thrust faulting and later transpression (oblique convergence, in this case right-lateral strike slip with a component of vertical uplift) have uplifted, faulted and folded the entire (once flat) sequence shown in the cross-section
