Jack Likins took a video of the very healthy ecosystem off of The Sea Ranch, at Walk On Beach. Currently this public access is closed, but Jack took this video some time before the closures.

Here's a photo by photographer Ken Bailey of an Opalescent Nudibranch, a type of sea slug.

And in much happier times, when abalone diving was allowed, here are Jack and Ken over five years ago with Ken's three 10-inch Abalones. Sorry to say, there is no diving allowed  now, not because of the virus, but because the Abalones are in trouble due to the proliferation of Sea Urchins. The Urchins eat everything, including the kelp Abalones need for sustenance.

But seeing Jack's video gives me hope that the ocean can readjust and become healthy again. Look at those big Abalones! Look but don't touch. Thanks to Jack and Ken for allowing me to share the photos/video with you here.

We had a BIG storm overnight. From the back to back storms, we registered 1.70 inches in our gauge. The seasonal creek that crosses our land is back above ground and running - a glorious sight this morning.

Spring doesn't know...

Rick and I, along with our golden retriever Sunny, visited the Walk On Beach public access trail on The Sea Ranch. Sonoma County Regional Parks made the Sea Ranch public access trails free to the public recently. What we found when we reached the bluffs had me exclaiming! It was thrilling to see and hear the big waves crashing against the rocks. Yes, it was foggy, but that didn't bother us.

The sounds of the big breakers were amazing and watching the breakers crash against rocks was mesmerizing.

Here are a couple of short video clips. Enjoy! The sun did come out for the afternoon. And rain is in our forecast for later next week. That would be a blessing!

After a long hike, it must feel good to put your paws in a nice creek. That's just what Bear did at Walk On Beach on The Sea Ranch.
