Western Trillium blossoms change color as they age.

When fresh up, Western Trilliums are white. As they age they turn pink and then purple. Craig Tooley photographed one as it changed to pink.

Craig mentioned that it looked like it had been hand-painted.

A wet storm hit the Mendonoma Coast in the wee hours of the morning, bringing two inches of rain at our place in Anchor Bay. There are several more storms to come, for which we are very grateful.

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is the link to his website: www.ruffimage.com

    I am beginning to feel a little waterlogged.......what I do like though is that the major rains seem to be coming at night and lighten up during the day.
