G’day from NSW Australia

Such a great way to explore this amazing country—camping! that’s right, after having an amazing journey last year, it made sense to see more! And we’re off! Canberra Beautiful city that was so very quiet and orderly! Definitely not like Washington DC! We enjoyed walking around the lonely city streets and the national museum. Kosciuszko…

Beekeeping Innovation

I don’t usually reblog my community work, but I’m especially happy to share results of my beekeeping operations–finally. Perhaps I’ll keep bees again once I move back to mainland. We’ll see. #beekeeping #savethebees #PNW 💙🐝🩵

Mele Kalikimaka from Kona

I’m packing today, getting ready to head to Seattle to visit family for the holidays. Thought it’d be a good idea to “bottle up” some warm Hawaii vibes to help keep me cozy while I’m there .. hope you enjoy….. A few holiday sightings around town here in Kailua-Kona. …and homemade musubi… better than you…

Looking Up in Kona

I’m now approaching six months before listing the Kona house. Yes!, that’s right — I’m beginning to unplug from the Big Island as my home. While it’s been relaxing to be here, it’s time to return to the mainland where we can be closer to family and friends…and also get back to some driving adventures…

California Dreamin’

Quick and fun trip to Northern Cal…enjoyed perfect weather and great spirits…from Santa Cruz beaches to hiking trails in Napa…I’m probably one of the few folks who visit Napa just for fall leaves and not for the wineries… Beautiful San Francisco bay, from Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz 💛 #california #napa #santacruz #lovefall

Quiet inspiration at the park

Dogwoods and ducks — now, here’s some images that I’ll paint one day, perhaps in the short, dark, cold days in December. 💛💜💚 #sunnyinseattle #PNW #mallard #dogwood #naturephotography
