The Daily Dose
People don’t always have the time or opportunity to get outside every day. That is why I created The Daily Dose. The Daily Dose is a glimpse into nature, to keep you in touch until you are able to get outside yourself.
The Daily Dose may include a story, or, at minimum, some beautiful nature shots from local hikes and beyond. As you look at each picture, I encourage you to imagine what it might smell like there. Is it redwood forest? Eycalyptus? Then imagine the temperature. Does it look hot? Breezy? Really take a step outside and get your Daily Dose!

HIKE DATE/LOCATION: 7-29-13 Sonoma Regional Park


What it is about Outside? For one thing, it's complete sensory satisfaction. The smell of the trees and the blooms along the trail. The feel of a warm breeze as it gently brushes your skin. Nature is a visual masterpiece, colors in every shape and size, forever fascinating the eye. Everything is alive and you can feel it!



We need some of that energy, so John and I head out for a hike. The park is less than 3 miles from the house so we're there in a flash. The short walk around the reservoir usually takes less than 40 minutes and it’s hot so we get going.



As we round the western side of the reservoir, I get lost in the view of “my ridge”. Knowing all the trails and curves of the landscape. Fortunately the regional park hosts its own beauty and isn’t to be ignored. We see our resident egret making his way along the shore.



The sweetest yellow birds flit and twitter in the dry grass. The living and the dead, always intermingling out on the trail. Recycling perfection.



John notices a beautiful tiny half blue snake in the grass. There's always so much to see if you just look.



In the blink of an eye we’re back at the car feeling better for having gotten some fresh air. A little Outside goes a long way!



I hope you enjoyed this version of The Daily Dose!
