Jan de Vries noticed this Black-tailed Jackrabbit in a meadow with the sun shining through his or her ears.

Thanks to Jan for allowing me to share his fun photo with you here.

The fog rolled in early this morning. Those of us who live away from the bluffs are likely in sun this afternoon - I am. Those on the immediate bluffs look to be in fog. It's cooler today, with our air conditioning, aka the fog,  back.

A small pod of Killer Whales, Orcas, was seen off The Sea Ranch recently. Jan de Vries photographed this Orca as it splashed down on its side.

These Orcas are called Transients and they prey on CA Sea Lions and Harbor Seals.

Thanks to Jan for allowing me to share his photo with you here. I have a photo I took of a particularly beautiful sunrise a little over a week ago. I took this photo from the front deck of our home in Anchor Bay. These amazing colors didn't last long, but they had me gasping in wonder.

Sunny with breezes today. Where's our rain?

I have had numerous sightings of this beautiful Peacock on The Sea Ranch. Cheryle Harris photographed him through her window drinking out of her fountain.

Jan de Vries spotted him walking along his fence and then posing.

He is quite the beauty! We don't know where he came from, so we hope he finds his way home.

Thanks to Cheryle and Jan for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Grace O'Malley recently photographed these two Western gulls flying in tandem in an oh-so-blue sky.

Two Western gulls by Grace O'MalleyWestern gulls are year round residents of the Mendonoma coast. Yesterday I saw Western gull chicks on a rocky island off the Point Arena-Stornetta Lands. Here's a photo Jan de Vries took of three gull chicks, one hopping in the air, testing its wings, and two on the ground.

Thanks to Grace and Jan for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Jan de Vries found this little fawn on his doorstep. The doe had left her newborn so she could feed after giving birth.


The doe soon returned to collect her sweet fawn. Fawns left alone for a while do NOT need to be rescued!
