Can't believe it took me this long to get back to doing something I love, and I can't wait to do more! I didn't get any photos this weekend, but here's one of me surfing in Rhosilli Wales from back in the day.

I've done a lot of flat water kayaking since, but not whitewater--until this weekend. Took a 2-day class on the American River. Boats have changed, techniques have changed, and my body has changed, but wow was it fun! (and the river was crowded)

34 years ago I joined the University of East Anglia Canoe Club in Norwich England and learned to whitewater kayak. Had an amazing year running rivers and surfing the ocean. Sadly I didn't keep it up when I got home. Kayaks were too expensive and I didn't have anyone to go with.

I’ve planted 2 hedgerows of California native plants on our farm over the last couple years and they are my favorite parts of the farm.

Just got back from a week on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Absolutely spectacular place! Kayaking in a fjord has long been a bucket list item for us. So grateful to have been able to experience it, while also mourning how fast this landscape is changing.

Love toucans! But the ornate hawk-eagle might be my fave. This awesome photo is by Joel Sartore.

Today I learned that mammatus clouds are also called "udder clouds." So of course I had to compare them to actual udders.
