Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
I heard from one of our neighbors that a Bald Eagle had been repeatedly spotted on the rocks offshore from the beach below our home. So I set out this morning to walk with binoculars hoping to get a glimpse of this extraordinary bird. I failed to spot the Eagle but did see quite a …

Nothing like a morning walk in the rain to lift one’s spirits. It always amazes me how much the weather controls who decides to get outside and move.

It’s such a joy to have our daughter Alexandra staying with us and joining me as a walking partner. I call her the “new improved version” of me because she is just that. A beautiful and smart (much taller) woman who like her brother Kalani is a great genetic mix of my husband and I. …
