Cathleen Crosby recently photographed the Gualala River -  it now sports a greenish tinge.

The river is still closed to the Pacific Ocean by the large sandbar and it has turned a beautiful green. I’ve learned from fly fisherman Charlie Ivor that this is called “Steelhead green,” and it means conditions for finding fish in the river can be excellent. Phytoplankton, single cell algae, along with a small amount of suspended mineral sediment, are turning the river water green. It’s very beneficial, helping to feed fish and other river inhabitants.

Thanks to Cathleen for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

We are waiting for a pretty good-sized storm which is supposed to begin around 4 pm. We'll take it! I'll report soon on the rain totals. I'll also be watching to see if this storm opens the river to the ocean. TBD!

Cathleen Crosby and her granddaughter, Tali, were traveling down Highway One when a waterfall was pushed backwards by the wind.

Enough water crossed Highway One that Cathleen needed to put on her windshield wipers, and it happened several times as she passed different waterfalls! Now this doesn't happen very often.

A another vigorous storm hit the coast early this morning. Two more inches of rain, so waterfalls will be pumped up again.

Cathleen Crosby looked out her window and found this Buck grazing. He lifted his head, with greens hanging out of his mouth, and perfectly posed for this photo.

His antlers nicely frame the suncatcher, don't they?!

Cathleen is the owner of Coasting Home, a property  management company in Gualala. On this evening Cathleen was called out on a service call. This sunset at Green Cove was her reward.

Last night's sunset was beautiful too, but today we have a little smoke from the terrible fires in Southern California. We need to start our rain dances.
