Life Amongst the Landscape, Unexpected Inspiration, Life as Art, Travel and More
If this pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that we can not control all aspects of our daily lives. What we can control, is seeking out the little things that bring us joy. I have always been interested in nature and native plants. My daily walks inspire me, bring me joy, and remind me of …

My trusty side kick Baxter is back on the trail with me, or so it seems. I’ll know more tonight but I suspect he may be a little sore after jumping back into our routine. Today was a good reminder of why it’s beneficial to be able to let go and go with the flow. …
On today’s walk I could just feel the optimism in the air. On this beautiful Super Bowl Sunday people were out walking, kayaking, fishing and surfing before the big game. It’s great to be around so much energy! Mother Nature is also giving out positive vibes and energy. More signs of spring are all around. …
This morning I had some uninterrupted thinking time while on my walk. Baxter is laid up; I’m not sure what he’s done but he’s limping. No heat, swelling or signs of redness/infection. Mind you, he’s a high strung Jack Russell who jumps and leaps off of everything. Keeping that boy down is difficult. I’m giving …

Winters on the Northern California coast mean rainy days with intermittent days of sunshine. I woke up this morning to a light drizzle so Baxter and I quickly got dressed and out the door. Realizing the drizzle would turn into much more, I wanted to start walking before my willpower caved. It’s easy to lose …

Baxter and I braved the storm this morning and got in our walk. While we got soaking wet on the exterior, thanks to technology our gortex shells kept us relatively dry underneath. One of the beauties about walking in the rain is the solitude. The rain chases away the fair weather strollers and many of …
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 …
