#humboldtcounty — Public Fediverse posts

This is fun bit #HumboldtCounty lore. Murphy's Market is in a scene from One Battle After Another, and employees recall the filming days and fans coming by now looking for the phone booth.

Redwood National Park added a mile of trail under old growth California coastal redwoods, so I had to go and see these new trees. Bonus getting to look around 'O Rew Redwoods Gateway.

Planning continues for Northern California offshore wind terminal at former paper mill site (will be much lower impact than the mill was).

After wandering the lower lands of Ocean Ranch, I moved a short way to wander the short (half mile) loop around Lighthouse Ranch. This was the location of the second lighthouse marking Humboldt Bay and there's not much left of it now. But there are views and benches to enjoy them from.

Here’s a pic from our Humboldt getaway this weekend. So beautiful there and everyone was so nice. Brought back memories of us riding our Harley’s up to the Redwood Run for so many years. This is part of the Lost Coast at Shelter Cove. ❤️🌊

We had a swarm in our yard today!
Called the Humboldt Beekeepers swarm list and foubd someone who came over lickety split and boxed them up. So far they're staying put. We have to close up their little door at dusk and she'll pick them up in the morning. And keep the dogs away.

In the West Salmon Mountains of Trinity Alps Wilderness, day 2 followed better trail, as we headed up to Horse Ridge Trail along Horse Trail Ridge, tagging Trinity Summit (Guard Station) and North Trinity Mountain along the way. It hardly ever lost us!

This was just an overnight, but not a quick one, in the West Salmon Mountains of Trinity Alps Wilderness.

Day 1 was winding along Crogan Hole Trail before finding a way roughly along McKay Meadows and Tish Tang Ridge Trails, which could be in better shape.

Hey Humboldt folks, I know we all love places like Arcata Marsh & Humboldt Bay Wildlife Refuge for birding, but don't sleep on the ponds behind Gene Lucas Community Center in Fortuna. Took The Retriver there this morning & logged the most species ever in a Merlin Bird App session. Swallows everywhere, & it even clocked a Purple Martin! 🤩
Plus this Egret was giving marsh realness posing for a few bird photographers - I only got a crummy iPhone shot. Species in next toot.

We headed out for a bunch of little hikes among the peaks of the Lassics, which tend to feature in the minds of the outdoorsy locals because they can be seen from so many places.

Tomorrow is the Humboldt Artisans Craft and Music Festival here in Eureka, CA in northern California.

I’m a vendor this time, and I’ve never done it before. I’m nervous. It’s three days long, and I’m hoping I have enough stock. I’m lucky in that I can print things each night here in my own studio if I run out a particular item, but it’s still going to be a long weekend.

Should be cool—they turn off the lights, so it’s all wintery and fun. All the vendors have to have their own lighting. And there’s holiday music in each of the three buildings, so It’ll be nice. My building apparently has electrical and heating issues, so I’m a tad concerned about that, but I use my own battery, so I should be okay.

I’ll be selling some new holiday greeting cards along with all my other stuff, as well as my new 2026 Bird Calendar, so I’ll have seasonal stuff that’s appropriate.

Wish me luck!

I’m proud to announce my 2026 Redwood Coast Birds calendar is available for purchase on my shop! It’s a 7x10” flip calendar with a stylized list of dates that really get out of the way of the beautiful bird imagery. It’s essentially a collection of twelve mini-prints, perfect for one’s office or rooms with little wall space.

Each bird can be seen on the Redwood Coast here in the Pacific Northwest in the US, but especially here in Humboldt County. Most of the illustrations were requested by patrons who visited my booth over the summer, asking if I could do specific birds because they had connections to them or stories they cherished.

This is a deeply personal collection for me. It is the beginning of my connection to the residents of my new community to which I moved at the beginning of the year.

I had such a good day volunteering at the Redwood Art Association today. It’s one of several local art co-ops, and has a large member-run gallery where we did “intake” day for the next upcoming show.

I got to check-in artists as they dropped off their pieces for the new show or picked up entries from the previous exhibition, meeting them and seeing their work. I got to sit with some long-time volunteers who delightful and positive, and we laughed and told stories the whole time. It felt like being part of a family.

The new show was focused on fiber art and sculpture, and there was everything from quilts to protest art, mobiles and wooden assemblages. 87 pieces total, i think? I can’t imagine how they’re going to hang some of it.. The creativity was off the hook!!

It was a really really good day. I needed it.

Thank you @NorcalGma2 for inspiring me to go and @955_36 for providing support!

Once the crowds had died down from the official opening of this very important link in the Humboldt Bay Trail, I headed out to see how it was.

Dropped off some prints and greeting cards to the Clarke Historical Museum here in Eureka, CA.

I put together a collection of cards that feature regional birds, as well as some local-oriented limited edition prints that I’ve illustrated recently. I’m beyond happy with them—they’ve done well here, and two of them sold off the wall at the recent Redwood Art Association Fall Exhibition. I’m really hoping they do well at the Museum and appeal to visitors.

We’ll see!
