Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
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 …

Wednesday June 24, 2020 Baxter and I had an interesting walk this morning. It was a foggy morning but frankly kinda eerie. The fog is awesome because it seems to slow down the tourists. This morning was very quiet on the headland, literally. What was odd was that the usual song birds were not out. …
Friday June 19, 2020 Baxter and I got out this morning “on time” resulting in a glorious walk by ourselves on Trinidad Head. We don’t have actual assigned time slots but the other fur baby owners also seem to be keeping a self prescribed schedule which paces us all apart. This routine makes for a …

Friday, June 12, 2020 It’s a Friday in June and I haven’t been on my favorite local beach, Old Home Beach, in awhile so today I opted for that beach walk. I left Baxter at home so I could take my time and also get in some beach combing. Friday’s are generally a great day …
Wednesday June 10, 2020 Baxter and I were back on the headland today. Pulling support from my light weight high-top hiking boots, I was able to take our spin around the headland with no problem or knee irritation. I was worried earlier this week that I might have jeopardized my ability to do so because …
Tuesday June 9, 2020 Never in my life had I thought a phrase like body mechanics would become so important to me. Our bodies have memory and mine is sensitive to the damage I’ve done to it in the past. From just landing wrong to horse related injuries to misstepping in holes created by our …
Saturday June 6, 2020 My Childhood hero’s were British Primatologist Jane Goodall, Cultural Anthropologist Margaret Mead, my maternal grandmother Pauline Michanco and our neighbor Ms. Ruth Winchell. My maternal grandmother Parascevia Hrycak (maiden name) or Pauline Michanco (married name) made a big impact on me as a child. She was a survivor and an independent …
