No matter which camp you reside in, COVID-19 and today’s political scene have created a tremendous amount of stress on all of us.

Today’s walk: Another Week & Fun With Photography

Time seems to be flying by this week in particular. Having foggy mornings may have something to do with it. That or maybe it’s just my subconscious wanting to fast forward thru this Covid-19 chapter we are all stuck in. The fog cleared and the sun came out at 12:30 pm; almost like the switching …

Today’s Walk: Monday Monday 🎶

Monday July 6, 2020 Baxter and I had a quiet morning on the headland following the Independence Day weekend. There was a great low tide exposing Trinidad State Beach and the fish are running so the boat launch parking lot was full. It looks like the upwelling caused by last week’s wind has brought the …
