Winter Storms Roll On

The recent rains have roused the Carmel River from its long somnolence. It hasn't flooded this week, but is running higher than it has since at least last winter.


These rocks are in front of the cypress tree at Carmel River State Beach. They are hardly ever visible! I haven't seen them in several years. I reckon that close to ten feet of sand have been scoured away at this spot over the past week.

Despite the wintry nature of the storms, signs of spring are evident.
