Seasonal creeks are full of water now, tumbling on their way to the Pacific Ocean. Craig Tooley recently photographed some of the cascades on Quinliven Creek.

And if you could hear the creek, you would find out it is singing!

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

We received well over three inches from yesterday's storm. Season to date is 35.10 inches. And more rain coming in tonight.

We got 8.1 inches during the "river of rain" event which ended yesterday, Saturday. The seasonal creek that crosses our property was doing its best impression of a mighty river. Here's Quinliven Creek during the tail end of the storm.

When we get a lot of rain, a hidden grotto with a cascade is revealed.

Here are two videos of the action.

And today is sunny and oh-so-lovely. The Pacific Ocean is all riled up from the storm with big waves crashing against coastal bluffs and beaches. It's a great time to be on the Mendonoma coast!

Quinliven Creek flows through out property and it's a joy to see it full from all the rains.

Sunny, our rescue golden retriever who came all the way from Taiwan, doesn't mind wearing a raincoat when it is raining hard.

For today, the sun has come out with an occasional shower. We even had an earthquake early this morning! It's never dull on the Mendonoma Coast.

We are fortunate to have a lovely, seasonal creek on our property, Quinliven Creek. Yesterday, Sunday, it was running fast and muddy after the heavy rain. We only went down and gazed at it - no crossing it when it was doing its best imitation of a mighty river. This morning we walked alongside it and I took a few videos. I have shared one below - you just need to click on the highlighted text to watch it.

Highway One is still flooded and closed by the Garcia River, at least as of 1 pm this afternoon. If you are on Facebook, go to the Point Arena Update page, as locals post their observations on whether the highway is open or not. https://www.facebook.com/groups/642728659107251/?ref=bookmarks Cal Trans has promised a live camera, which is to be installed next month. Now we  need plans for a permanent fix!

UPDATE: The Highway opened late this afternoon! But more rain could change things again.

UPDATE Wednesday Jan. 10, 8:30 am...Highway One is closed above Point Arena with three to four feet of water. High tide, a King Tide, occurs at 9:16 this morning.

More rain today and tomorrow. Batten down the hatches!

Sunny doesn't mind flooded trails (Large)Sunny, our golden retriever, doesn't mind the flooded path! Quinliven Creek was running fast and furious, as you will see below.

Lots of rain has pumped up our seasonal creeks, including the one that traverses our property in Anchor Bay. It's so exhilarating to walk alongside, breathing in the freshness and appreciating all the wonderful rain we are getting. Here is a short video of a part of the stream.

More rain for tomorrow, Sunday. Then we have a chance to dry out.
