REEL THOUGHTS

WATERMARK

    WATERMARK is an extraordinary 92 minute visual odyssey that spans the globe and reminds us in every image how inextricably linked humans are to water.  

     Canadian documentary filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Edward Burtynsky have created an extraordinary work that is captivating. It is stunning in its scope and beautiful. Scenes are majestic or powerful and so well captured they prompt audible gasps from the audience. WATERMARK is a film to see, either in the theatre or at home on a good screen.

JUST BEING PRESENT

   A public expression of gratitude to Lana for her artist's palette creation on our back slope.

   Frequent readers are familiar with the work. She has created a space filled with a couple dozen variety of blooms, drought tolerant too, that is an aerial playground for butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, beetles and other airborne denizens of the California coast. Orchestrated with wind chimes it is a perfect retreat for being present in the moment. It is a place of beauty, nature and transcendence.  

SCENES OF A STROLL

 A recent late morning stroll along San Luis Obispo County's Bob Jones "city to sea" trail was picture perfect.

 A FIRST EFFORT

   Bruce, aka The Catalyst, likes to experiment with recipes.

A few weeks ago he published his adventure with a coconut cream pie.  It "spoke to me," enough so to compel me to bake my very first pie. I'll do a couple of things differently next time, but it got nice reviews, none-the-less. Thanks Mr. T! Who'd ever think I would bake a pie?

   See you down the trail.

FROM TOWN TO SEA

THE BOB JONES TRAIL

A GREAT WALK

From San Luis Obispo to the Pacific, the Bob Jones

Bike and walking trail is beautiful glimpse of Central Coastal California.

The area near Avila offers views of magnificent trees.

 In this frame you can see ancient tree and stone in fusion.

A classic, "lazy by the riverside" setting

 Can you spot the fellow traveler?

This curious "growth" appears along the trail. 

I was told this is the first phase of foundations 

for cabins.

In the meantime they provide a setting for a garden.

Named for an environmentalist and naturalist, the 

Bob Jones trail is not only a great tribute, it is a

great stretch to bike, jog, walk and push baby strollers.

Fitness starts early in San Luis Obispo County.
