The ocean does link us all,and whatever we toss into it, it simply floats through its cycles and currents. Think about her, before you toss random garbage, drain your car wash into the streets, or imagine that somehow, your actions don’t count … Fukushima (global-adventures.us): Massive amounts of debris are floating in the Pacific Ocean; [...]

For the uninitiated, there is little that can be said to fully express the beauty of Baja California Sur. From the moment one leaves the populations of Colonet & San Quintin, makes a requisite gas stop in El Rosario, and heads into the heart of undeveloped land of cardon, bojum, cholla, poloverde, cirrius and more [...]
Rembrandt Skies
Posted: November 19, 2011 in Baja Living, Casa de Catalina, Loreto, Sunrises, WeatherThe rain was more than I could have asked for. Dark ominous skies for two days – and then the drops, light as first and then a heavy downpour that came in spurts, but lasted through the night. In the morning skies that painters dream about. The rains in the night cleared the air (not [...]
rain in the night : heavy and the air is filled with the scent of damp earth dark clouds still fill all four quadrants and palms sway in response to shifting winds magical : the desert with water
Gotta Love Hilary

.. and not necessarily Clinton, although by now everybody has to be thinking that she would have done a much better job … But not politics – storm surf – and on the horizon looks like some big time fun for southern Baja.
Hilary pushing a lot of water …..

Hurricane Hilary appears on track to leave most of Baja alone – unless she turns north early. In which case, winds and heavy rains could batter portions of Baja that have seen no significant rain in over a year. Surf won’t be particularly wonderful – onshore winds and tight spacing between swells … Oh, those [...]
Long fingers of Dora
Posted: July 24, 2011 in Baja Living, Casa de Catalina, Loreto, WeatherTags: Hurricane Dora
No doubt, everyone is glad that Hurricane Dora went from Cat 4 to a tropical depression in the blink of an eye, along with moving broadly westward way from the coast. While we’d all like some rain, no one emraces the potential destruction of a hurricane. This evening, long tendrils of Dora’s arms reached across [...]
An afternoon storm swept in quietly without much wind or fanfare. The sky had been cloud filled, but toward four o’clock, light grey turned to dark, and heavy drops fell intermittently. There is such magic in the desert when there is rain, especially when it passes through without floods or washed roads. The afternoon shower [...]
Day Two 2011

Will I ever tire of the sunrise? Sometimes I think, “enough.” But no, I grab the camera, capture the light. There is always something different. Clouds shifted, glassy seas or wind swept, the sky a range of color fields. In the stillness, the air gathers in on itself and slowly exhales in rhythm with the [...]
August Thunderheads
Posted: August 28, 2010 in Baja Living, Casa de Catalina, Gardens/Plants, WeatherSultry summer days with the humidity almost as high as the water. The skies open to wonder and as the winds pick up, the chance of shower increases by the hour. Everyone drips and whines about the temperatures, yet the summer is so beautiful. The easy days of spring have given way to the late [...]
