Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
One of my favorite hikes is Trillium Falls Trail inside Redwood National and State Parks, just north of Orick, California. What’s unusual about this location is that it’s a reclaimed mill site. If you ignored the interpretive panels you would never guess that 40 years ago this beautiful location was home to a commercial logging …

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. …
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. …

Baxter and I were back on the headland this morning for a glorious walk. The weather is spectacular and we plan to enjoy each day before hunkering down for the winter rainy season. The northern CA coast is extra special this time of year. The nights are cool but oh the days are so so …

Note: this post may load slowly due to the video and pics but it’s worth the wait! This morning’s walk was a walkabout Eureka, CA while our car was being serviced. It’s amazing what you can see when your focused, paying attention and on foot. I had three hours to burn up so I took …
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 …
