Nature gives us the raw canvas, but imagination—and a very good dog—brings it to life!
No trail adventure is complete without our faithful Shar-Pei pup right by our side. Whether he’s balancing heroically on mossy forest logs or guarding our beach treasures, he’s always leading the way.
Back in 2021 at Glass Beach, while our pup inspected the shoreline, I spotted a gnarled piece of driftwood and saw a dragon waiting inside! Then out in the deep woods during a mushroom hunt, we found a massive conk shelf fungus that I transformed into a vibrant monarch butterfly.
From sea spray to forest floor, nature provides the raw treasures, and our pup keeps us safe while I bring the color.
Which wild transformation is your favorite: the Beach Dragon or the Forest Butterfly?
