Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
What an effective pair, road work and fog. If you’ve been following my blog you know that like many people I walk for health reasons but also to seek solitude. It gives me a chance to think and to also still my mind of all the craziness in our world. Today’s walk was awesome because …

Happy Hump Day! Is it still politically correct to call the middle of the work week that? Either way, we are all 1/2 way there; the weekend is in sight. Yahoo! It was a quiet morning in Trinidad and on the headland & beach. The trail footing is showing signs of wear & tear from …

Today is a Monday and usually Mondays are quiet and low key but not today. The usual shift change between groups of tourists doesn’t seem to have happened. Because of Covid many people are staycationing or staying more regional rather than flying somewhere. These folks have discovered Trinidad. Local businesses are all a flutter with …

The Bald Hills contain rolling hills, beautiful prairies and oak woodlands; spectacular vistas that would thrill any photographer. …
Thursday July 2, 2020 This morning began with dramatic fog that drifted in and out during our 50 minute walk. I was able to get some great pics today. Not only did the landscape provide opportunities but some of my favorite local characters were also out today. The calm before the storm. I suspect they …

Friday June 26, 2020 On the trail today I met a woman who unknowingly gave me a lot to think about. We had a brief conversation while passing each other on the trail. She appeared to me to be gliding around the headland like a pro. What I didn’t realize was she was frustrated with …
Thursday June 25, 2020 Today’s walk was once again in the misty and balmy morning fog. The trees were dripping like a drizzling light rain due to the heavy moisture in the air. However, things seemed to have gone back to normal. Unlike yesterday the song birds and crows were present and the fog horn …
