Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
Last night the world was notified of the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG). RBG fought for our civil rights making it clear that women’s rights were part of civil rights. She gave a great fight against the cancer that ultimately took her life at 87 years of age. I know that …

Today’s walk had a balmy, tropical feel to it given that it was 63 degrees and 91% humidity. The air still smells of smoke from the wildfires but at least the air quality has gone almost back to normal range. My heart goes out to our neighbors to the north, east and south of us …

Instead of walking the headland my friend Katrina and I headed to Big Lagoon and went up Maple Creek for a spectacular paddle. Initially we had a little wind and chop but that soon passed and we had a flat, glassy, 2 1/4 hour paddle, in the warm sunshine followed by lunch on the beach. …

We live in the quiet part of town, two blocks from the beach with no ocean view. In general our street is very quiet except for locals and tourists walking by or the lost ones driving by looking for beach access. This past Labor Day weekend turned into a chaotic mess as folks took to …
Baxter and I had a quiet morning on the headland. Signs of Fall are all around. Sigh...I’m personally going to hold out thru Sept 22; hanging onto every ounce of summer. We have high temps forecast for the holiday weekend which usually translates into large numbers of folks seeking refuge on the coast.... This weekend …

Baxter and I took a spin around Trinidad Head enjoying the solitude of a quiet morning. It looks like the tourist season may be slowing down. I had wondered if Covid would also impact tourism. Theoretically, one can home school and work remotely from any where with internet service. This remains to be seen. The …
This morning I switched course and walked with my neighbor thru the forest and out to the other headland in our community, Elk Head. It was one of those special days; truly a gift from above. Sunny and warm with NO WIND along the trail and out at the headland. Because it is a fully …
