First edition of the photo-documentation of 2023…

As y’all know, it’s been quite a winter here in California. How many atmospheric rivers? We had two trees go down in the back yard, more than a couple of power outages, many blocked roads, and it’s been pretty cold.

Worse, they keep sayin’ the drought’s not over. Can’t a problem be a solution? Anywayz, this batch starts with one day trying to get to work, and another day at work – the extreme high water mark of Pescadero Creek…

More rain incidents – washed out road, fallen trees, high water marks, and the aftermath of tree that fell on a car at Heritage Grove.

RandomVail – here we go. A bike ride at sunset from Wilder Ranch north along the coast cliff. Chard abundance from last summer. Trees in Pescadero Creek. A local cat. Charlie & I at UCSC. Ruby & Boman at Pasta Moon in HMB…

Nature explorations. OK, I’ll admit it, I explored the Cloverdale Coastal Ranches one day after school before they belonged to MROSD. But I kayaked the marsh before the cutoff date. And maybe I’m not too close to an elephant seal…?

President’s Week = Ski Week…

Here’s a picture of a picture of the Cuesta La Honda Guild – before the landslides of 1998. Lots to explore here…

Local nature: deer, coyote, turkeys, the sun…

Chess explorations at Pescadero High School…

RandomVail – here we go again. Window view from man cave #1. My newly built culvert cover. Some art (probably from the Ocean Vault in HMB). Skylawn Cemetery Buddha and view of the SF Bay. And a pic of Steve, Dan, and me in SaMo…

Finally, on March 16th I participated in a “Creative Residency” sponsored by the SMCOE VAPA coordinator. Great event, so much better than other PD, and the setting – Miramar Farms – was particularly lovely. Some pics of the place…

Thanks again for getting this far! More coming from 2023 soon…
