Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
My husband and I recently relocated 7 hrs north across the California state line to the central Oregon coast. A job acceptance on my part motivated this move. It is not our first relocation. In our 35 years of marriage we have made 8 moves together; 5 of which were interstate moves including one that …
I recently agreed to jump back into the employment pool which meant uprooting our household and crossing the state line back into Oregon. We have repositioned ourselves, seven hours north of our previous location in Trinidad, CA, returning to the central Oregon coast. Thirty-six years ago my husband and I met and fell in love …
After a 10 day break Baxter and I are back on the morning trail walk. This time of year Mondays are wonderful; we had the trail to ourselves. No off-leash dogs or people walking the trail while yakking on their cell phones. A nice, quiet serine morning on the trail with a little beach combing …
Because of the heat inland our coastal weather this past week has been on the foggy side with overcast skies remaining the majority of the day. Kinda drippy in the morning with moisture from the fog. I normally love fog but for some reason, today I had to drag myself physically around the headland. Or …
Wanna make someone happy? Take your dog or the neighbors dog for a walk. They will love you for it! Baxter was overjoyed this morning when he realized he was getting to go on today’s walk. Due to various circumstances he was excluded from my walks for the last four days. To an enthusiastic walking …
Baxter and I had a really nice mellow walk this morning. Overcast skies seem to slow people down in the morning; we walked in isolation most of the way. Maybe this was payback for the awful experience we had two days previous. Two days ago Baxter and I took our usual route around the headland …

While my husband spent the day at follow up appointments at UCSF’s Medical Center, I walked the site, people watched and took some pics. My idea of an awesome morning (for me, not my husband). As I …

It always amazes me just how much weather can influence daylight levels and its reflection on the landscape. The ocean is a great example; lighting and wind (impacting or creating waves) can make it appear different shades of blue, green or sometimes even slightly gray. Yesterday we had very soft lighting which was reflected in …

Baxter and I used our “insurance policy” on our walk today. Often when he wears his blue raincoat we beat the rain and today was one of those mornings. A quick spin around the headland and some time afterwards, beach combing on Launcher Beach. A great way to start the day and launch the weekend. …
After a very busy weekend Trinidad returned to its sleepy self and was quiet this morning. Trinidad State Beach was packed this past weekend because of the amazing weather we experienced. It seems like half the county flocked to the beach. Unlike the weekend, a wet fog rolled in and blocked the sun this morning. …
