Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
Baxter and I got out early this morning with time for a 3.5 mile walk. It felt great to get in a longer walk. During the work week, because of the time crunch, I usually pair my daily walk down to a 1.25 mile loop “around the block.” Both Bax and I have been longing …
This week I’ve had the good fortune to travel to Boston for the 2022 American Alliance of Museums conference. Like most of the world, the Alliance took a break from in person conferences during the pandemic so this is the first in three years. Following tradition, I’m rooming with my long time friend and colleague …
Baxter and I took to the headland this morning to enjoy the start of Fall. September can be one of the best months in the west. We had another sunny gorgeous day with just a hint of fog that really didn’t materialize into much. That fog did however wisp in and provide a good photo …
Instead of taking a walk, I went kayaking on Big Lagoon this morning with my friend Jackie. What started out as heavy fog turned into a gorgeous day with some episodes of pancake flat water. It was an awesome 2.5 hr paddle, heading north parallel to the spit, while observing a large group of coastal …
Fall is definitely in the air. This morning’s walk was amongst the mist that is generated by fog. Kinda like walking through one of those machines that restaurants use to cool down their summer customers at outside seating, only in this case, it’s Mother Nature providing the mist. California is still fighting wildfires so any …

This morning Baxter and I had a quiet walk thru town and around Trinidad Head. A nice respite from a very busy tourism loaded Labor Day weekend. Tourism is like a double edged sword. The revenue is a nice gain for the city and businesses in town but boy, it does have a threshold. Heavy …
It’s a busy weekend in Trinidad so Baxter was left at home this afternoon as I took my walk. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are visiting us and wanted to see the real Trinidad Lighthouse. On the first Saturday of each month the access gate for the lighthouse is open so the public can walk in …

Life is full of opportunities and today was one of those days that we pounced on one. There’s a new business in town that is providing a unique opportunity to cruise the water around Trinidad on a sailboat. Today we took a two hour cruise with Captain Doby Class on his boat, the Obsession. The …
Crazy, crazy morning on Trinidad Pier and in/around the Harbor. Baxter and I walked down the hill to do our usual spin around the Headland and beach combing on Launcher Beach, to find a very busy parking lot being supervised by Rancheria staff. One guy actually tried to drop his truck & trailer in front …
Sadly, our dog Baxter sat this one out so I could have a relaxing walk on the beach. We had a minus tide this morning and being a JRT, he is a little too competitive for all the off-leash dogs. Without Baxter, I also have more time to look around and take pics! California State …
