Photos by Bill Wallace. "The pictures are of our Bocce court which is located in western Sonoma county. It is situated on a south facing hillside overlooking our olive orchard where we grow Tuscan variety trees for extra virgin olive oil, 'Hawk's Feather Oliveto'."

Little slice of heaven indeed. "The rock walls were hand made by local artisans of Montana gold ledgestone and the court was built by David Brewer owner of Boccebrew, a northern California builder of bocce courts." {Click the photo to visit BocceBrew.com.}

"The court is 10' by 60' with an oyster shell and clay base and a Brazilian hardwood (ipe) bumper and top cap. The walkways are decomposed granite gold coarse."

"The Bocce court was dedicated to Anthony Ciabattoni in 004, 'Amico vicino e un grande consigliere'."
