Dish loop before the heat. 3.5 miles, one coyote, many ground squirrels.

Dinner out on the closed-off street. Dosa, then boba, then ice cream. Balanced.

Dahlias everywhere. The garden beats the house.

Foggy Highway 1 morning. Olallieberry pie at Duarte's on the way back.

Climbers on Goat Rock, a red-tailed hawk circling below us.

Negative tide. Anemones, sea stars, one very annoyed crab.

The Nation's Christmas Tree. Stamp #35 ✅

About 350 steps up a granite dome. The Great Western Divide at sunset.

Largest tree on Earth by volume. My neck hurts.

The rooftop terrace is as close to the ring as you get. Took the photo, bought nothing.

Elephant seal season. Guided walk, pups everywhere, one bull who made his feelings very clear.

Northern lights from the hot water. I screamed a little. Everyone did.

5am. Icebergs, one curious seal, three other cars. Worth the alarm.

Basalt columns, black sand, and a ranger yelling at people who turned their backs on the waves. Sneaker waves are real.

You can walk behind it. You will get wet. Rain pants.

Double waterfall, rainbow included, soaked by the spray.

Erupts every few minutes. Filmed it six times: each video is four seconds of waiting and one of screaming.

The famous hot dog stand. Eina með öllu — one with everything.

Up the tower on day one. Colorful roofs all the way to the sea.
