We are just 11 days until Election Day. I don’t know about you, but last night’s debate lost my interest. We made it thru the first 90 minutes then turned it off. That’s twice as long as our watch of the first debate. I’ve already voted so I wasn’t watching to make up my mind. …
I have been surprised how quickly the time flys by. We all deserve a pat on the back for surviving another bizarre week. Only 25 days remain until the election. Like many I’m hopeful that we can get past this failed experiment and pull the American people back together. I don’t envy the next administration …

My friend Jackie and I did the 2 hr 15 minute paddle on Big Lagoon and up Maple Creek this morning. It was foggy and cool and very quiet on glassy water. Quite blissful and relaxing which is what we hoped for. After we reloaded our gear, we enjoyed a long lunch on the beach. …
This morning my friend Annie asked me if I wanted to take a walk in the park. The park being, Redwood National and State Parks, which surround us and is located 20 miles north and to the south including almost 40 miles of coastline. I am so grateful for the opportunity to spend the afternoon …

Fall 2020 begins with two notable events; one local and one national. Trinidad’s commercial fishing fleet and the seasonal sport fishermen and women have dry docked their boats which significantly changes the landscape of Trinidad Bay and Harbor. Our community flag continues to fly at half-staff in honor of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who lies …
Today is officially the last full day of summer. Sigh...I am anxious to bid 2020 goodbye, but each year I do mourn the end of summer. Its not that I don’t like the other seasons; each has their own beauty and pros & cons. Summer however, makes it so much easier to do the outdoor …
The fog was fairly thick on the headland this morning which meant solitude and bliss for Baxter and I. A quiet morning with not a lot to see; the fog increased as we were walking and continued to drift in and out most of the day. Nevertheless I was able to take a few images …
Last night the world was notified of the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG). RBG fought for our civil rights making it clear that women’s rights were part of civil rights. She gave a great fight against the cancer that ultimately took her life at 87 years of age. I know that …
