Earth Day 2026
Earth day 2026 I once again take an early morning walk of the beach where Earth Day began back in 1969 caused by the oil spill in the Santa Barbara Channel area resulting in a cascade of environmental destruction. Out of concern, anger and a proactive community, a wave of environmental action occurred turning into
Happy Penguin Day!
World Penguin Day is officially celebrated internationally on April 25th. This is the perfect time to reflect on these wonderful creatures and the contributions they bring to our world. I had the opportunity to visit their home last year just as bird flu was becoming a threat globally, including Antartica. We had extremly cautious protocols

Surge
It was a dark wintery solstice morning. Upon leaving the house, I check the wave app – Mmm, looks like an average tide. So, I decided to go to a very nearby beach, easy and possibly find some sanderlings. I gathered my camera bag, put on my knee high welly boots, and made my way

Moving Beyond – Memo to Earth Day
I was motivated to write this post after seeing an article this morning in the New York Times, California Edition, on Earth Day April 22, 2022. I love walking this beach. Today, I can enjoy its beauty. The view at this place would have been a lot different and not as meditative back in 1969

Refugio Canyon – Outside My Comfort Zone
Outside of my Comfort Zone. I write this at the beginning of 2022 to help me get outside of my comfort zone and share my photos and the stories that come along with the journey. This first journey was the day after Christmas. It was a joyful gloomy week filled with much needed rain. On

Return to Gaviota Moonlight Style
It had been many months since my last visit to this area on the Gaviota coast. My past life of wondering about and traveling slowed down during the 2020 pandemic closures. By early spring, I wanted to get back to exploring farther away from my local beach and up the coast to Gaviota. Unfortunately, the
