Nothing brings me quite as much joy as the four little ten-pounders that share my home and my heart. The second in a series of accidental adoptions is Chilli, a dachshund. He is a comedian, professional, I swear. And mischievous. Sometimes just looking at him makes me laugh; all it takes is a sideways glance … More Big Little Guy – Silly Chilli
The street where I live is always bustling with activity. There are briskly walking women in their 60s, deep in conversation about last night’s dinner, GMOs, consciousness, their thighs. There’s the pack of wild boys, hopped-up on sugar, racing on their bicycles down to the gas station on the corner for more sugar to fuel … More On the Street Where I Live
According to the Medicine Cards the lizard represents Dreaming. I connected so strongly to this message that over 20 years ago I honored the lizard permanently on my skin. A tiny lizard tattoo lives quietly on my shoulder. Dreams live in the shadows, in the future. Lizard medicine allows us to review our dreams before … More Dreaming
Today I am wandering through the catacombs of my brain, aided in part by my fickle lover, caffeine, who always stimulates fascinating, albeit rapid, conversation between the Gemini twins within me. At present, two thoughts are jockeying for position. Really two sides of the same coin. The first: Why, how and when did our society … More Trust the Process

Cambria, California: Along the coast in Cambria a boardwalk with cliff edge look-outs has been carefully laid with great care and concern for the environment and the natural habitats present beachside. On a windy, early morning walk this is what I found. With all the wind and people walking by, the squirrels, rabbits and birds, it was amazing … More Delicate and Strong
Cambria, California: While wandering along the beach we came upon this jumble of sea plants. And while someone may have posed it, the actual work of creatively tangling all the parts could only have been done by the ocean.
Yorba Linda, California: When it comes to fashion, you just have to go with your gut. On this Easter Sunday in sunny Orange County, young Adyson takes her bunny on a walk. Tastefully clad in her new frock and princess slip-ons she knows a true lady wouldn’t leave the house without the proper gloves and hat. The … More Real Kids of Orange County
Yorba Linda, California: While out hunting hummingbirds, and becoming increasingly frustrated with the results of my efforts, I ran across this little guy. He wasn’t too far away but he was very patient as I changed lenses so I could capture all his beautiful details. Quite the poser, he seemed prepared to stay all day, tilting his … More Blue Bird of Happiness
Cambria: Along the Pacific Coast Highway in Cambria there are raised boardwalks on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. Under these walkways exists an entire eco-system. There are squirrels, rabbits, lizards, snakes, spiders and various other bugs and rodents. So used to humans, the squirrels and the rabbits were unafraid of our presence and even willing to pose for close-ups.
