Blood Moon

hear the
Frog individual ribbit ribbit ribbit after noise from
Garbage emptying dies down
Ocean fresh resonant jet noise tripping noise resonant no actual yes wind hollow

walked out looking to saw there a brightness in a thinness of the puffy clouds then the top of the Moon and the
Earth
Shadows below

it was time to view the high tide

oh how do you do it?

just went down to the rocks and had a look
massive seas, brisk wind, whitecaps
plunging waves

that’s always nice when you are not into

foam flying up to the bluff
it rained a little so a bit
too muddy to go all the way to the surface
there was much discussion of the blood moon
so it did bring with it the king tide and toward sunset, a minus tide as well

5
What can I say we went down in the sun that was still shining and we hiked down slipped in the mud and one step slid down and stepped down 50’
down to the Rock concert
now the rock concert is a is a cobble Beach
Big cobbles
We hear it sometimes
you can hear the Rocks rolling in the waves
in this case the tide was completely out
the opposite of the king tide
the minus tide
it was just awesome
I took pictures all around the Basin and out to the Sea and up the cliff and I did this from three Vantage points
then I went over and I shot the trench which is very deep maybe 15 feet deep and then Patti showed me a rock that she wanted me to see so I let the camera to do the seeing all around it and above it as much as I could and then from there we made the decision to go to the cave
this involved walking in-the-Wind hiking all along the way
we went ahead and did it
there was water
there was crest
there were many rocks
There were ups and downs
There was even a place at the very end where seaweed was growing
Delicious
and I modeled the basin, a very tiny piece there and then walked all the way to the cave
the last Crossing was pretty wet
this Crossing was very dry
I shot a few pictures of the cave but by then the Sun was going down
it was very dark
very hard to photograph
walked out all the way back
by this time it was well into Twilight and when we finally got back the lights were on and it was just growing dark
well I can look out and I can see a little bit of light over the ocean in the wind still blowing briskly

More on the kelp body

    ARC3D MODEL Kelpgoliath 8
    by lemond
    on Sketchfab

This is from a series of first successful models from arc3d webservice are of the kelp body that arrive back strangely selected from the 117 total number of photographs, a crude equivalent of reality but fascinating.

Body as skeleton, viscera, matter

an agglomeration of kelp wave washed on the smooth beach

somatic drawings, findings

i took an rx walk to montara beach with a shaman's effigy doll in mind

as i approached target location i picked up a few things along the way

i was carrying my camera and shoes too

when i arrived there was no hope of fashioning an effigy in a deeply conscious way -- too heavily burdened

so i threw or dropped things as intentionally as i could

a straw did not land upright -- it rolled away in the offshore breeze

the feather was planted last

i drew the outline of my body in the manner of anna halprin and allowed the materials to represent the rest, guts, sexuality, charcoal for possible negative energy nexus

of course the footprints are important too -- they show where the weight was carried

 
i found effigies made already that were similar made of kelp

this one has a head

then i found a huge agglomeration of kelp much as an effigy should be, rich, organic, vital -- its own story

finally i walked beyond a way, not far, then returned to see what the sea did
