Tuesday May 26, 2020 Just Baxter and I and four turkey vultures were visible on the headland this morning. These are the morning walks I really enjoy. We had the headland to ourselves. A lot of people are driven by the weather. Today we have light fog which usually means I’ll get the solitude I …
Friday May 15, 2020 Happy Friday! Congratulations, we made it thru another week of shelter-in-place. This morning brought forth what looks to be an incredibly beautiful day. The sun is shining and the clouds have parted bringing back blue sky’s and the deep blue colored ocean water. It’s a picture postcard kinda day. A great …
Thursday May 14, 2020 Ok. I confess. We took a break this week because well, I wimped out. I didn’t feel like dealing with the rain. Or call it fallout from Covid-19 anxiety. Take your pick. Both are true. Like most, I’ve had my fill of news and politics. I have to turn it off. …
Thursday April 30, 2020 We were out the door early this morning and rewarded with a quiet, beautiful walk thru town and up and around the headland. Our city streets and yards blanketed with cherry blossom petals due to last night’s wind and rain. Baxter and I had the headland to ourselves and I tried …

Monday April 27, 2020 It was a quiet morning in the neighborhood, on the headland and the beach. The kind of morning I relish and hope for. The ocean was very flat; a great morning for kayaking. As we circled the headland, a single CA sea lion could be heard barking on the southern end. …
Thursday April 23, 2020 Baxter and I randomly changed the time of our walk by 20 minutes which may just be the sweet spot we have been looking for. It was a quiet morning on the headland and the adjacent beach. We pretty much had them to ourselves. There were other people around but not …
Monday April 20, 2020 Ever since I learned about the pair of Peregrine Falcons that nest on our headland its been my quest to see them. Today was my lucky day. As Baxter and I started our ascent uphill, they appeared in the sky above. Grace and beauty flying near us. Two days before Earth …
Thursday April 16, 2020 It’s funny how a little thing like changing direction can also change one’s perspective. This morning Baxter and I walked up the headland to find that the city had reversed course now asking trail users to go counter clockwise. Initially (due to Covid-19) we were instructed to go clockwise which is …
Wednesday April 15, 2020 Covid-19 may have us sheltered in place but that doesn’t stop the spring garden growth spurt that is going on. It’s GARDEN SEASON and I love to dig in the dirt. Today I set a goal to completely weed one of our large garden beds. I’m always excited to see what …
