Massey Monday: You'll Poke Your Eye Out!

But somehow she runs through all that brushy, brambly junk at full speed unscathed. No eyes poked out yet.

Massey Monday: Something There!

That stance and those ears...she's telling us there is something there. Probably a little tiny lizard or a field mouse or maybe a gopher got lucky and find a tunnel in which to hide. There is definitely something there.

Thirsty Thursday: Elements of Garland Ranch

Rambler: Beth

Drink at Hand: Junipero Gin and Tonic

Another Thirsty Thursday means its time to pour something yummy and make those weekend plans. One of our favorite local spots to hit up for a trail run or a leisurely hike on the weekends is Garland Ranch Regional Park. Its a lovely off-leash location, so Massey can run around (and get covered in poison oak) while we either run up the crazy Skyline climb, or wander around with our cameras.

We went to Garland a few weeks ago on a beautiful, coastal California winter day. Our winter days are pretty fabulous. Here are a few of the little bits of nature I found during our stroll.
