Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
Friday July 17, 2020 About 20 minutes north of our home is my favorite hike in Redwood National and State Parks, the Trillium Falls Trail. The trail is a 3 mile loop that takes you up in elevation 400 ft thru a beautiful old growth forest of Redwood trees. The site is a former mill …
Experts suggest you vary your workouts rather than always doing the same thing. My new routine is mixing my daily walks with paddling. Instead of walking the trails today we took to the water at Big Lagoon and the adjacent Maple Creek. My brother in-law Craig and sister-in-law Michelle joined us. We started out in …
A change of scenery and a walk thru the forest with family led us out to Elk Head today. It was an exceptional day: NO WIND. Lots of Harbor seals and sea birds. Enjoy the pics. #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego
We had a quiet Saturday morning on the headland today. The state beach and pier parking lots were full but most seemed to be out on the water. Here are a few of my pics. #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego “On Guard”California Paintbrush

Wednesday July 8, 2020 I’m getting awfully spoiled and frankly I’m grateful for it. Its a very unique situation we live in.

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 …
Friday July 3, 2020 My quest for solitude and a change of scenery required a 1 hour drive north to reach the remote Lyons Ranch Trail off of Bald Hills Road in Redwood National and State Parks. The Bald Hills contain rolling hills, beautiful prairies and oak woodlands; spectacular vistas that would thrill any photographer. …
Thursday July 2, 2020 This morning began with dramatic fog that drifted in and out during our 50 minute walk. I was able to get some great pics today. Not only did the landscape provide opportunities but some of my favorite local characters were also out today. The calm before the storm. I suspect they …

Tuesday June 30, 2020 This morning was stunning. Sunny and warm with the perfect kayaking conditions in the bay. For those who planned ahead it was a great morning to be on the water; nice and flat with no wind. I wished I was out there. As I circled the headland the latest national news …
