Camaraderie – Public Art
This sculpture, Camaraderie, is striking in its shape and presentation. The artists collected the words that make up large portions of its surface from the words veterans used, in person or as recorded in Library of Congress documents, when telling stories of friendship and solidarity.

Bernal-Gulnac-Joice Ranch
Now part of the Santa Clara County Parks, this 20 acre San Jose, California ranch was once part of the nearly 10,000 acre Rancho Santa Teresa. It was run by Bernal and his descendants continuously from 1834, when this was still Mexico, until 1980.
It was purchased by IBM and then traded as part of a deal so that IBM could build a research lab up in the Santa Teresa hills of San Jose that had belonged to the Santa Clara County Parks.
Rock Art
I think it is fantastic that someone would take the time and resources to make art on the street. This isn’t even the front of this house. Someone placed this rock art along the street at the side of their house that sits on a corner lot. A simple thing perhaps, perhaps not, that adds beauty and interest to the lives of those who pass by. I found this place by accident wondering around a neighborhood. I am inspired.
