Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
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 …
As people return to this “new normal” post-Covid phase, there seems to be a shift in gear. I sense a different vibe in the air as I walk the local trails and run errands around the county. The out of state license plates are on the rise and I don’t think it can be written …
Because of the heat inland our coastal weather this past week has been on the foggy side with overcast skies remaining the majority of the day. Kinda drippy in the morning with moisture from the fog. I normally love fog but for some reason, today I had to drag myself physically around the headland. Or …
Wanna make someone happy? Take your dog or the neighbors dog for a walk. They will love you for it! Baxter was overjoyed this morning when he realized he was getting to go on today’s walk.

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 …
