{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Today I join Amanda Soule and many others for "this moment"

Baker Beach

Baker Beach is like the wilderness. It was my first time being there in years.

beaver chewed log, found on the beach.

a dead grey whale beached, looked like a juvenile.

sea palm, likes to be where the water crashes the hardest on the exposed reef.

hot chocklate back at the car after a long and cold hike. Yet an exciting adventure.

Despite the sadness we felt at seeing this dead mammal on the beach, we were also thrilled to see such a creature up so close. The baleen, vents in expanding throat, large barnicles, and huge pectoral fins. It was as impressive as I would have imagined it being. I'm not sure why it died. These things happen, I like to think naturally. It was an adventure.

a break for yoga

Spencer takes a break on the floor with me for a few yoga poses. It seems to come naturally to children, this kind of movement and pause. Inspiring to have him join me.

Just before dark

As much as all of us love being on two wheels and being in the water, these are two things Pancho does not like. Wouldn't it be so fun if Pancho would pull us on the skate board?! Lucky for us Pancho will indulge a little ride, but not for long. He doesnt' like it, but he loves Ruben...so a short ride he will do. I guess Pancho is still in training, because he continues to be tested or "trained" in short spurts by two very encouraging boys.

 I do love these short walks before dinner with little light out and bundled up, the cool air and cozy scarf it  feels good.

A late fall daily harvest

Each day I get an egg, not like I did when the sun stayed out longer. I also picked just a hand full of greens for a a salad. I wish I had planted more for the winter garden. I do feel lucky to step outside and gather this lovely bit of nutritious food form our yard.

Walking treasures

an otter

a buck

a gull

me

So many treasures to see while out walking the river's edge and beach. I liked seeing the buck's print in the sand. I would love to see a deer out on the beach.

Sunday afternoon is a precious day for us to take time with each other in nature. A place where inspiration comes from the beauty around us. Being here, with each other and without the distraction of things. We stay grounded through this lifestyle and I am grateful again as always to have such easy access to place like this that bring out the best in all of us.
