Gary Levenson-Palmer photographed this beautiful sunset before a rather vigorous storm arrived today. It's amazing how many colors are in this magnificent scene, which was seen off of Irish Beach.

Nancy Trissel photographed this sunrise a few days ago from her home north of Gualala. Sunbeams piercing the clouds makes a beautiful sighting.

Thanks to Gary and Nancy for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

We did have some heavy rain today, which was rather a surprise. Sunday is suppose to bring a big storm. We never complain about getting rain, though. It's a blessing.
