The humans were having a hard time working their way into the surfing lineup today, due to a major feeding frenzy at Surfers Beach in #HalfMoonBay today (and for many days earlier).

Not seen but there’s a humpback whale out there enjoying the buffet also. We watched her for almost 2 hours, moving back and forth slowly, an occasional mini-lunge feeding. Then we watched her head out to deeper water, flashing her flukes as she went.

Beach scene with foggy sky, sand, low waves, and a whole lotta birds on the water and in the sky. There are two people walking on the beach. There is a group of three surfers waiting for a wave surrounded by pelicans, gulls and other water birds.

Update: County Public Works finished striping and installing pylons on Mirada Road in Miramar, #HalfMoonBay. It was nice to see them still all nice and white and new before drivers wreck them. It was nice to have a lane dedicated to bikes and peds, however eroded here and there, instead of cars and bikes and peds all trying to avoid each other.

Some folks were taking signatures for a petition to Save Mirada Road. While the gal I talked to wanted repairs to there could be 2-way separated lanes for bikes and for peds (which I like), the originators of the petition, if I understood correctly, want two vehicle lanes again. Nah.

View down Mirada Road, which has big boulders on the ocean side and homes and businesses on the other. There’s a double yellow line painted down the middle. The ocean-side lane has fresh white painted lines and short white pylons to block off the lane from cars but allow bikes and pedestrians to move through. Some of the pylons mark off a section of lane that has dropped and eroded due to wave action from tides and storms. There are several of these eroded sections in this stretch of road. A black 2-wheel bicycle is standing in the middle of the photo.

Wanna give a big thanks to all the PG&E crews working full-out since this storm passed through. We just got our power back about an hour ago. Except for a few hours on Sunday morning, we were without power since Saturday night. We were warm and dry and had prepped food, so we were fine. Not counting the stress of those howling winds, that is.

I like to check on how Frenchman’s and Pilarcitos creeks fare after a good rainfall, to see how they bust through the dunes to drain into the ocean. In the first shot, I didn’t realize it but you can see both creeks kissing each other (on the mouth! as it were). Second shot gives a closer view.

I love water and seeing what changes it makes.

Wide view of sandy beach, a bluff, waves riding up to a beach, clouds low along the horizon, and blue sky with low angle sun coming from the right. A creek makes a sinuous path through the sane out to the ocean. A couple of black dots are people walking on the beach.
Closer view of the mouth of the creek seen in the previous shot. We see where the creek carved deeply through a dune to get to the water with a few dozen sea gulls standing there. Coming in from the left is Pilarcitos Creek. There is a thin wedge of sand between them before both meet at the edge of the waves.
