Journey to Inspiration

Directions Website

Journey to Inspiration I'm a born and raised Californian who flew halfway across the world to live in the coldest and most rural part of Japan, Hokkaido.

I was lucky enough to participate in the San Joaquin Kit Fox Workshop hosted by the California Central Coast Chapter of the Wildlife Society and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife out in the Carrizo Plain. Through the course I’ve become more confident in my surveying and identification of this federally endangered species. When out spotlighting for species identification at night, I had the opportunity to get some amazing photos of this rarely seen fox.

You may be more familiar with the Carrizo Plain for its wildflower fields in the spring, but there is so much more out there if you keep your eyes peeled.

Happy final day of the 24th annual Sea Otter Awareness week! Monterey continues to be the best place for me to find sea otters. This is a photo I captured recently of a mother and pup seemingly playing in the water.

Can’t get much better when going on a whale watching tour in Monterey Bay. Out of the 50 odd times I’ve been whale watching, I’ve only been able to catch a breach twice. This was one of those great moments.
