I’ve had some outrageously wonderful paddling trips in Baja in the month of April, so this time of year gets me thinking about that part of the world. The adventuring is good, for sure, but so is the purely observational side of these trips: just taking in the natural surroundings. Here are a few photos of the wild surroundings of Baja; the light, the ever-changing surface of the sea and the radically different climate from my wet home on the shores of the Salish Sea.
