Despite all the rain, hail and snow, wildflowers are blooming, as photographed by Amy Ruegg.

Amy Ruegg spotted these Stream Violets in riotous bloom.

And delicate Calypso Orchid.

The wildflowers know spring is coming! Thanks to Amy for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Sunny one moment, then driving rain and hail the next. It actually hailed so much in Point Arena last night, that it looked like snow, even at the Point Arena Pier. I'll be sharing some of those photos soon.
