Baxter and I took our walk in some very blustery weather this morning. There’s a big storm predicted for our region and the ocean bears testimony that it’s well on its way. The waves were big, the tide was high and the wind was blowing hard. Not a day for a walk on the beach. …

We received some heavy hail last night that stuck around for parts of this morning. The day started with some very chilly temperatures for our coastline; 36 degrees that felt more like 30 degrees. The back deck at our house was a sheet of ice. I realize for my friends living east of the Mississippi …
The show stopper for this morning’s walk was the amazing skyline and cloud cover we had. The initial blue sky morphed into quite a display while Baxter and I were out walking. There is a whole lotta change going on in our world and today’s skyline seemed to mimic all that energy. It’s been an …

This morning was absolutely stunning. By the time I finished my walk it was 63 degrees! Not your typical January 18 but we currently live in a time with so many new normals. Today is a National holiday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. I’m hoping the day provides time for reflection on our …

Between the foggy mist and the dramatic wave action this morning the ocean gave a reminder of her incredible strength. As we walked around the headland, looking down on the sea, it occurred to me just how insignificant humans really are. Our strength pales by comparison. Also of note today was the flora and fauna. …

Once you have been on the beach or fishing in the Pacific Ocean you can’t help but gain a respect for Mother Nature. I am forever in awe by the dynamics of water and how it interacts with the land or more specifically the beach. Today’s walk began at 7:15 am with a high tide …
If you ever needed an incentive to roll out of bed and get up early, witnessing the sunrise is certainly a good one. Today’s walk was enhanced by a gorgeous sunrise. I may need to make this a new goal, capturing the sunrise from different vantage points on nearby beaches. Enjoy the pics! #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego …
Nothing like a morning walk in the rain to lift one’s spirits. It always amazes me how much the weather controls who decides to get outside and move. The silver lining of inclement weather, solitude on the trails. Thank goodness for rain gear! I hope you enjoy today’s pics. #iluvtowalk #baxteronthego #trinidadcalifornia #humboldt #humboldtcounty Our …
