Santa Cruz is Proudly Showing Pride! The Santa Cruz County Building, Santa Cruz City Hall, Town Clock, Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation Building and Abbott Lighthouse are all lit up. They will be lit through the end of June.

Dustin’s view below, probably from today, and my view from a couple of days ago

Who saw last nights drone show on the Main Beach?

Heavy rain showers and brief sun breaks seem to be on repeat in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Mother Nature is enjoying playing April Fools jokes…

West Cliff Drive is once again being pummeled by huge waves! Use caution if you’re anywhere near the ocean, cliffs and beaches. 3/28/25 9:45am

California Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social failed last week to implement #SB54 – the nation's strongest plastic reduction law. That is not the last word! Read the statement from the Aquarium, @oceana.bsky.social, and @oceanconservancy.bsky.social. www.montereybayaquarium.org/newsroom/pre...

Look at that spin. This low pressure system will erode the weak ridge of high pressure that set up over California and open up the storm door this week. I count at least three systems targeting the state with rain and snow over the next week. #CAwx

I’m not sure there’s anything more beautiful than walking West Cliff in early spring when the weather is like it is right now. We have an extra hour of light today, get out and enjoy it!

Spring has Sprung in the Santa Cruz Mountains

If you haven’t been to Lighthouse Point on a Sunday evening and seen the Bubble Lady, you really need to! She’s there most Sundays an hour before sunset, so 5:04pm today

The San Jose Mercury News reached out to me after I started talking about all the water rescues that were happening today, especially in Capitola and the Pleasure Point area. My photo and some of my words

This evening was a double feature with a stunning sunset and big waves

A Friday sunset featuring the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse

Thick fog was moving in quick, but we still had a really nice panoramic sunset this evening! The first photo shows the sunset above the fog.

Last evening as the Giant Dipper was about to be swallowed by a thick wall of fog. 20 minutes after I took this, I couldn’t even see the lights of the Boardwalk from a very cold Santa Cruz Wharf!

I failed to post this here, so here’s yesterday’s glorious start to a sunny day between 2 days of rain

A day without immigrants. This group marched through town and then rallied at the Town Clock. I proudly support these hard working men and women who keep our country running.

It was a geyser!

If you’ve attended a Santa Cruz Warriors game, or even if you haven’t, you need to check out the moves Mav’riks had while dancing to ‘Dancing with Myself’ on the Santa Cruz Wharf. Video is of course mine. youtube.com/shorts/EhYm9...

James Durbin and the Lost Boys performing ‘Two Tickets to Paradise’ on the Santa Cruz Wharf. They were rocking it!

I was thinking it was going to be a good sunset this evening, but it was far above any expectations I had!

Do you agree or disagree with the question on this video of mine? This should be the official soundtrack of Santa Cruz youtu.be/8-2IWY13gPI

Marcella Marcella is a 26’ Monterey Clipper fishing boat built in 1918. After a complete refurbishment, it’s been on display at the Santa Cruz Wharf since 1995.

I’m now actively posting videos on YouTube. I invite you to check out my latest video and following me there if you’re so inclined. youtube.com/shorts/gDkTY...

Today, the now famous wharf bathroom turned life boat to 2 very lucky construction workers that went for the ride of their life’s on, was torn down and removed from the mouth of the San Lorenzo River. And not good news for the reopening of the undamaged portion of the wharf, it’ll be weeks at best
