Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
While taking our usual spin down & around Trinidad Head I was impressed and inspired by someone I don’t know. This morning there was a younger than me woman on the same trail who, instead of walking a dog, was pushing a jogging stroller that carried a toddler. I watched with fascination as this very …
This morning Baxter and I got back into our routine and made the loop around Trinidad Head after a very fun week of playing tourist with visiting family. We feel so grateful to live next to Redwood National and State Parks. Lots of safe outdoor opportunities for family fun. Can’t beat a week of hiking, …
Life is full of opportunities and today was one of those days that we pounced on one. There’s a new business in town that is providing a unique opportunity to cruise the water around Trinidad on a sailboat. Today we took a two hour cruise with Captain Doby Class on his boat, the Obsession. The …
This morning followed the end of a minus tide series with a low tide of .72 feet, no wind and sunshine. I couldn’t pass this opportunity up so our dog Baxter stayed home and I headed to Old Home Beach for the morning. Without wind, we have what I call T-shirt weather and for most …
Crazy, crazy morning on Trinidad Pier and in/around the Harbor. Baxter and I walked down the hill to do our usual spin around the Headland and beach combing on Launcher Beach, to find a very busy parking lot being supervised by Rancheria staff. One guy actually tried to drop his truck & trailer in front …
Baxter and I took our usual spin around Trinidad Head as I successfully test drove my new hiking boots. I am a big fan of foot care. If your going to age well and maintain lifelong mobility, your feet need to be treated with great care. If you do so, your body will reward you …
Sadly, our dog Baxter sat this one out so I could have a relaxing walk on the beach. We had a minus tide this morning and being a JRT, he is a little too competitive for all the off-leash dogs. Without Baxter, I also have more time to look around and take pics! California State …
As people return to this “new normal” post-Covid phase, there seems to be a shift in gear. I sense a different vibe in the air as I walk the local trails and run errands around the county. The out of state license plates are on the rise and I don’t think it can be written …
Because of the heat inland our coastal weather this past week has been on the foggy side with overcast skies remaining the majority of the day. Kinda drippy in the morning with moisture from the fog. I normally love fog but for some reason, today I had to drag myself physically around the headland. Or …
Wanna make someone happy? Take your dog or the neighbors dog for a walk. They will love you for it! Baxter was overjoyed this morning when he realized he was getting to go on today’s walk. Due to various circumstances he was excluded from my walks for the last four days. To an enthusiastic walking …
