Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
With a gentle push from my adult daughter, today I overcame fear and got back into my walking routine on Trinidad Head.

I vividly remember my first consultation with a massage therapist 20 years ago when I sought help for a low back injury. This was the day I started to learn how to recognize and acknowledge fatigue. Being told, “your not 21 anymore,” was a huge blow to my ego and a concept that took me …
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 …
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.

Today is Election Day and I’m hoping you cast your votes and then tune out the subsequent noise that is sure to follow.

Although this partisan double standard is not within our direct control, there is something that is, and that is our constitutional right to vote. If you have already voted, I thank you. If you have not …

The lighting this morning was exceptional, especially if your into photography. My daily walks are all about exercise, clearing my mind AND playing around with photography. I’m an amateur enthusiast who uses a cell phone. We are fortunate to have such a picture postcard landscape right at our feet and the technology to capture it. …

As Baxter and I walked this morning I was thinking about Ballot security and all the chaos the administration has purposely cast around it. I submitted our ballots yesterday by putting them into one of the 10 Official Ballot Drop Boxes placed around our county. After hearing from a friend that she had mailed hers …
After a very busy weekend Trinidad returned to its sleepy self and was quiet this morning. Trinidad State Beach was packed this past weekend because of the amazing weather we experienced. It seems like half the county flocked to the beach. Unlike the weekend, a wet fog rolled in and blocked the sun this morning. …
