Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
To my dog Baxter’s dismay I traded today’s walk in for paddling at Big Lagoon with a friend. Oh what a morning! While gliding along on glassy water during the 2 hour paddle, we spotted 5 herons, an Osprey nest, a number of small birds and a river otter family of five. My companion spotted …

Baxter and I walked the headland this morning but boy was I longing to be on the water. Both Trinidad Bay and the ocean off of Trinidad State Beach were glassy, warm and there was no wind. As they say, smooth as silk. This afternoon Trinidad hit 72 degrees which is really warm for us. …
Baxter and I had a great walk on Trinidad Head this morning. There is a lot of activity on the headland...day and night. By the looks and quantity of all the scat I saw this week I suspect there are fox dens on the headland. The scat looks similar to what my husband and I …
Baxter and I had a peaceful walk on the headland this morning. I appreciate and enjoy how fog slows down visitors to the headland. It’s a perk for me but a missed opportunity for the fair weather hikers. The fog is actually quite beautiful and provides some great photo ops. If the parking lot was …
Baxter and I walked the headland this morning going in and out of fog. The fog later subsided and brought a beautiful day. No wind and lots of sunshine. This week is forecast to be a kayak lovers dream. Nice and flat on the bay. More people than usual on the trail today so I …

Friday July 17, 2020 About 20 minutes north of our home is my favorite hike in Redwood National and State Parks, the Trillium Falls Trail. The trail is a 3 mile loop that takes you up in elevation 400 ft thru a beautiful old growth forest of Redwood trees. The site is a former mill …
Experts suggest you vary your workouts rather than always doing the same thing. My new routine is mixing my daily walks with paddling. Instead of walking the trails today we took to the water at Big Lagoon and the adjacent Maple Creek. My brother in-law Craig and sister-in-law Michelle joined us. We started out in …
A change of scenery and a walk thru the forest with family led us out to Elk Head today. It was an exceptional day: NO WIND. Lots of Harbor seals and sea birds. Enjoy the pics. #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego
