A New Year sunset, as photographed by Allen Vinson!

Many could hardly believe their eyes - the sunset was that spectacular. Allen Vinson photographed the splendor.

You can see the Pacific Ocean was pretty in purple from the reflection of the sunset. Sweet!

Thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

We received .30 inch of rain last night and the season to date is now 35.60 inches. Sweet! Today started off sunny. I took a walk with a friend on the Gualala Bluff Trail in the late morning and we were toasty warm from the sun and lack of wind. But then a cold fog swept in from the ocean, dropping the temps and cooling us right back off.
