the forest and the trees

Lest you think Arcata is all Kitchenaid mixers and sunsets by the bay, it’s also trees! Redwood trees, specifically. While the true titans are a bit outside of town, Arcata has its own community forest, just a few minutes from our house (as the ocean and the bay are), you find yourself enveloped in the forest. More than anything, the forest demonstrates nature’s resilience and regenerative power. New trees are growing inside those that had fallen, with moss and ferns and other plants flourishing underneath. While it’s a difficult place to actually get lost, it’s ideal for losing yourself for a time.

Bread

It's the weekend, the time for more baking. Today: buttermilk whole wheat bread. Tasty, though next time I'm using honey.

Rising

Though still not enamored with the morning, it is easier to leave the house when this greets me outside our front door. It's even more impressive before I take a shower but camera operation proves challenging so soon after waking.
