It's a drizzly Friday morning on the northern coast of California.  Banks of low clouds blend into fog blanketing the forests of what has become my home.  Big, brainy, loud ravens shatter the quiet as they bicker at one another in the field beside my work.  Still, I'm amazed by the serenity, peace, and beauty of this place.  I love the green, the fog, the wetness and the cool.

I love our trees - the tallest in the world.  Walking among them instills wonder in me, even after thirteen years of living here.  They sway, their tops moving over twenty feet in the wind.  It's like watching giants silently dance to some unheard beat.

There are so many things I miss about Kentucky - where I'm from.

But... this place...

It's home.

The quiet and solemn nature of it... that is something which I love.

Though, there's something to be said for a city - where you can find whatever you want.

Except... maybe peace.

It is, Reader.  Thank you.  There are parts I'd like to change, but not the closeness to nature and the peacefulness of it.

I hear you, Wayne.

Being right in the middle of Toronto - near the busiest highway in North America, or so I’ve been told - I found the most wonderful pathway through large stately trees that allows me a taste of nature. I’ve even come across chipmunks on this path much to my surprise. Of course, being able to traverse the city easily and have close access to amenities and such is great too.

I hope to one day see the Redwoods, but that won't be for a while.

Beautiful imagery you paint.

Thanks.  But it's a sad substitute for the real thing.

You ever make it out this way, let me know.  We'll show you around the county.  🙂
