3 big storms with high winds over the winter made the Backshore look like a war zone. You can drive on the road but the power of the sea is right in front of your eyes. This is just a small section....the damage goes on for a mile or so.

Another cycle begins. Frequent rain so far but when the sun comes out everything pops so fast. The deck is bare but busy with seeds planted to get ahead of the game: Cosmos, Nasturtium, Batchelor Button, & Sunflowers.
