Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
As Baxter and I walked this morning I was thinking about Ballot security and all the chaos the administration has purposely cast around it. I submitted our ballots yesterday by putting them into one of the 10 Official Ballot Drop Boxes placed around our county. After hearing from a friend that she had mailed hers …
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. …
My friend Jackie and I did the 2 hr 15 minute paddle on Big Lagoon and up Maple Creek this morning. It was foggy and cool and very quiet on glassy water. Quite blissful and relaxing which is what we hoped for. After we reloaded our gear, we enjoyed a long lunch on the beach. …

After four days of staying inside due to the hazardous air quality from the wildfires, Baxter and I got back on track and took a spin around the headland. This afternoon the sun finally broke. It’s been about a week since we last saw the sun so I’m taking this as a good sign. Enjoy …
There is an eerie feeling and mood in the air today. Early morning fog combined with the environmental affects of the wild fires to the south and east of us have created a strange orange and gloomy glow. A light coating of ash continues to rain down on us and the sun is blood red. …
Yes this morning was foggy. But, it was a high fog with pretty good visibility. It was also an awesome day at Big Lagoon because hardly anyone was there. We launched our kayaks at 8:10 am and with the exception of a handful of swimmers, we had the lagoon and the adjoining Maple Creek to …
