Our little village of Capitola received "tons" of flotsam and jetsam from a nearby creek in our first storm of the season. What to do with it all? As soon as the rain stopped the locals gathered to make art...sculpture that is...every year it happens, mostly tepees but some other interesting shelters too! Children and adults, cameras out and plenty of critics but mostly the fun of seeing the creations. We have benches that line the beach and nothing is better than sitting and taking in the sights with the added fun of watching the surfers riding out the waves nearby... all with the warm sun on your face! Actually the pigeons can be a pain but other than that...perfect!
Oh how wonderful - and that beautiful Blue Sky!! I would have been there like a shot - did you make anything? Photo please and see my new post on your comment on my blog!!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm itching to get over there and gather some flotsam. Must have been fun.
ReplyDeleteAll that fresh air is so invigorating and the fun must be contagious.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that it is warm enough to sit outside! One must keep walking here, wearing their rain gear!
ReplyDeleteWT's great grandmother's middle name was Capitola...Celia Capitola.
ReplyDeleteWay cool!
ReplyDeletelove a beach after a storm. that's quite a quantity of twigs though. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good thing to do. I think 'beach art' is so much fun. I live on the waterfront so I must go down to see what I can find there.
ReplyDeleteRosie, Thank you for the link and mostly thank you for a few more images of this artist's work. Are you familiar with the Starn Twins?
ReplyDeleteRobyn, It gathers up over the winter and then the heavy equipment moves everything away in the Spring! I planted myself on the bench and loved watching!
Pat, The fresh air is unbelievable! Not hot and not too cool. Today the fog rolled in!
Leslie, We are in between storms...we have plenty of the gray days with rain too!
Willow, I asked a couple of locals how the name Capitola came about...so far no answers! Celia Capitola is rather exotic!
ReplyDeleteKaren, Agreed...very cool!
Suki, The logs are huge...redwood mostly.
Zappha, Living at the waterfront...sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteoh, this sounds perfect Mary Ann :)
ReplyDeleteNo Blue Sky I am not familiar with the Starn twins - the work looks intriguing at first glance and very much the kind of work I'm interested in - thank you very much!
