Outdoor California Fall

Turkey trot

November 26, 2016 gdkalligher Leave a comment

With all those tasty treats around it’s not uncommon to gain five pounds or more between Halloween and New Years. Which means NOW is a great time to walk your favorite sidewalk, path or trail. There’s a good chance you’ll encounter one of your neighbors looking to stay ahead of the curve (pun intended) too!

Golden state

November 23, 2016 gdkalligher 1 Comment

With sunsets like these it’s easy to understand why California is called the Golden State. According to Stephen Corfidi NOAA meteorologist, these colors are no accident. As a region on the earth’s surface rotates away from the sun the extra long wavelengths that remain visible to the human eye at sunset happen to be the orange, red and golden hues. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Endor redwoods

November 16, 2016 gdkalligher 1 Comment

California’s old growth redwoods are out of this world. Thankfully through efforts of many preservation groups we can be both awed and inspired. So inspired was Hollywood, scenes for the fictitious Moon of Endor from Star Wars Return of the Jedi were filmed in the state’s Redwood National and State Parks where these photos were taken.

Mocha beach

November 12, 2016 gdkalligher 1 Comment

It’s called Clam Beach but there are nearly as many sea biscuit (aka sand dollar) fragments as discarded clam shells. The sand has a light coffee color and the beach is almost clutter free. There’s plenty to see here too from small feisty sand crabs to tiling patterns in the sand. On some days dogs outnumber seagulls two to one!

Low tide wide

Three mile long Clam Beach between Trinidad and Arcata is wide, flat and firm at low tide encouraging an early AM stroll by humans, dogs and western gulls alike.

Dawn and dusk

After several days of cool rain, warm weather on the California coast can cause people on vacation to walk beaches before dawn and do precarious handstands in celebration.
