Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
After having seven weeks of my life consumed by greater challenges, I’m ready to get back in the groove of my routine. Sometimes life takes hold and requires you to redirect your energy. In the span of eight weeks, my husband had a kidney transplant, our son donated a kidney to help facilitate his father …
Life comes with challenges. Sometimes we are given a heads up and other times it’s brought by surprise. One way or another we find ways to cope and survive. I feed my inner strength thru exposure to Art & Nature. In my mind there are two kinds of art; human made and art created by …

Today I switched things up a bit and changed course, taking the trail that goes out to the other headland in town, Elk Head. My daughter arrived this afternoon and I wanted to show her the Fetid adder’s tongue before all the plants went to seed. Spending time in nature can lift your spirits and …
This morning’s walk was back on Trinidad Head and to my surprise the trillium have finally started to bloom! Multiple new sprouts have also broken thru the surface and started to mature. I am so relieved that they are all still there. For a few weeks I worried that mischievous behavior had befallen them. As …

Every location has its charms and whether or not we realize it, we are all very tied to the landscapes we live in. A number of elements from within that landscape influence our behavior and our happiness. The people or plants and animals who live there, the architecture and history of the human designed environment, …
It was a brisk walk around the headland at 36 degrees but what a beautiful day! Our afternoon temp rose to 54 degrees with little to no wind which means it was warm. A great day to take a walk and also get some gardening done. To top off the sunny weather benefit there are …
We got out the door early this morning. Let’s call it preparation for Sunday’s time change to daylight savings time. Remember to set your clocks one hour ahead this weekend. There was a mix of lighting while we were out which is reflected in my pics. Clouds, sun and a light, wispy fog influence my …
Because of stormy weather Baxter and I didn’t take a walk on Friday so today makes up for it. The weather today was the flip side of yesterday; it was absolutely stunning. Days like this make me feel like I live in a picture postcard. It’s the first Saturday of the month so the historic …

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 …
