More like "growing two feet above water," for the past 100 years!

I will look forward to better Google Earth imagery. Any special areas where you saw that, Harald?

zoom in to about 200m

miles and miles of new roads around Rancho San Miguel

Since your palm tree is located in a depositional location, and base level of arroyo mouth is increasing, makes sense that rising sea level is matched by elevation gain of alluvial depositional surface.
