When we get a moderately sized rain we get runoff from the many small streams that come down from the hills into the ocean. While a rainy episode at this time of the year is relatively infrequent and of short duration, they can be intense which is what pushes the contents of the streams into the ocean. This morning I was walking on the beach and happened upon this tree. It was quite large, perhaps 24 feet long. When the swell comes later today it will either carry the tree out to sea where it will decompose or it will push it up on shore where it will dry out. On occasion, I see family groups out on the beach with a small bonfire... sometimes cooking, sometimes just enjoying the fire and the water. It all gets used and is all a part of the whole.
