Rays of Hope and Warmth

In late January it rained a lot.
The water came up to the tipi.


The living willow Tipi has lost it's leaves for the winter.

Tsunami Santa Cruz

Cascadia Fault, Hosgri Fault, and the whole ring of fire.
These things have been here before.
Recent findings concluded the Cascadia subduction zone was more hazardous than previously suggested.  Some geologists are predicting a 10 to 14% probability that the Cascadia Subduction will rupture in the next 50 years, producing an event of magnitude 9 or higher. The tsunami produced may reach heights of approximately 100 ft moving at 500 miles per hour.
The south end of the Cascadia is about 500 miles north of here so that's about an hour away.
My house is 200ft from  the cliff, a mere 40t above the ocean.
Here is a link to a December 2009 article in Scientific American about 
The map that is provided in this article seems optimistic about 
what gets flooded.  Man, I hope not though.  A tsunami type wave or
surge is a lot different than what breaks at the Lane.  45 to 100ft
would certainly go up and over the cliff with unimaginable power
and volume of water.

Good Wave



Earnest in frequency.
Unique in amplitude.
Deep and shallow together.
This is not the surfers wave.
This is the hard pounding wave that
makes sand out of rocks.
For beach walkers this is the fast and dangerous
wave. This wave comes up the beach fast
in a soft cotton disgise. It's heavy and it's strong.
Innocent white foam wraps around
ankles to drag the walkers down to Davey Jones Locker.
This is not good wave for shore dwellers.
It's a good wave for oceans collecting food.

Endless Village


This stuff is about 6inches to a foot high, or more or less.
Every shape is here, or going to be soon.
This is rapid evolution.

Pomponio Beach....Full Moons bring Spring Tides which bring Very High Tides.
Oceans as rough as mountains bring creamy waters.
The nautical churn pounds seaweed into thick whipping cream.
