An old railroad bridge spanning a slough entrance has me thinking of things that might have been.
Living, Laughing and Loving one day at a time....

35/365 Red Eyed Beauty
Black Crowned Night Heron playing peek a boo with me through the trees.
We have a community of these beauties who spend the winter in the tangled trees of Arcata Marsh. It is always a treat to be able to see them basking in sun puddles between the branches!

31/365 Cat Tails...
Extra fluffy cattails...I remember, when I lived back in New Jersey, cutting these down and placing them in a tall vase....and coating them in hair spray so they wouldn't "explode" in the house!

Another foggy day, this time sitting at one of the Bay jetties....One of my relaxing "Happy Places" where I can hear the foghorn in the background and the waves crashing against the rocks.

It's Layering weather here on the Northcoast of California...Early morning walks are chilly(mid to high 40s) but by the afternoon we usually reach the mid 60s....unless it's raining of course :-).

16/365 Marsh Winter
Browns and grays may be the predominant colors of a winter at the Marsh, but the sound of the breezes through the reeds, the coots searching for lunch and the geese overhead are beautiful music to my ears...

13/365 New Temporary Digs
The Trinidad Lighthouse has found a temporary home at the base of a harbor parking lots.
How lucky to be so close to the Pacific Ocean and to see not only this cute little memorial, but so many other beautiful working lighthouses.
On March 1st, they picked a new permanent home for the Lighthouse Memorial not very far from here. As soon as it is moved, I'll drop by and get some pictures. For now, click HERE for a link to the article announcing the new location.
