Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
Once you have been on the beach or fishing in the Pacific Ocean you can’t help but gain a respect for Mother Nature. I am forever in awe by the dynamics of water and how it interacts with the land or more specifically the beach. Today’s walk began at 7:15 am with a high tide …
If you ever needed an incentive to roll out of bed and get up early, witnessing the sunrise is certainly a good one. Today’s walk was enhanced by a gorgeous sunrise. I may need to make this a new goal, capturing the sunrise from different vantage points on nearby beaches. Enjoy the pics! #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego …
Nothing like a morning walk in the rain to lift one’s spirits. It always amazes me how much the weather controls who decides to get outside and move. The silver lining of inclement weather, solitude on the trails. Thank goodness for rain gear! I hope you enjoy today’s pics. #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego #trinidadcalifornia #humboldt #humboldtcounty Our …

This morning we got our first real frost of the season. As Baxter and I took our spin around the headland it was 37 degrees. I was armed with a layer of fleece and gloves. Crisp mornings like this are great for clearing your mind and pushing chaos away. I suspect we will all need …
For the second time this week (third time in the last two weeks) we had a morning rainbow. Today’s rainbow even appeared at the same time, 200 miles to the north of us on the Oregon Coast near Coos Bay, Oregon. I am seriously taking this as a sign. Better days are on the horizon! …
As we sit on pins and needles waiting for the election results, today’s walk included a beautiful rainbow and multiple shapes of hearts. I’m taking that as a good sign. I’m hoping Mother Nature has a crystal ball and is sending signals. Continue to wait for it. Wait for all the ballots to be counted. …
The Broadway musical Hamilton captured the hearts and minds of so many not normally enthusiastic about history. The production took artistic license with the historical record but in doing so it became a cultural phenomenon that got the public’s attention and generated a lot of interest in history.
