Our Sandy Beach is Gone

This was yesterday afternoon

We’ve had a few little storms with wind and rain. A couple tropical storms skirted the southern tip of Baja where we live, but they never came close to us.

This is what it usually looks like.

The photo above shows what we can normally expect. But now we go with whatever nature brings us.

Now at the bottom of our trail
This wasn’t even high tide yesterday

It is amazing how the waves end up where we used to step onto the sand. I do love the explosions of the waves, and the spray even makes it all the way up the trail sometimes.

We had several turtle nests on the beach, but the ocean has taken them all. It’s part of nature. Sigh.

I’m reminded of how the only constant is change. Gotta roll with it.

Meanwhile, back at the house our trees and plants are loving all the recent rain. The hills are green and people have said when they fly into the airport in Cabo San Lucas it looks like Hawaii. Well, there’s that!

Come on in

We moved into our house in 2012. Since then we’ve added my art studio and a little casita above our garage for family and friends to visit.

My art studio
The light by my studio door. Lots of fun creative stuff going on in there.
Stop by when you’re in the neighborhood. I’ll make you a cup of coffee. But we can’t walk on the beach. At least not now.
