Autumn is a good time to hopefully see a green flash at sunset. Last week Anne Mary Schaefer photographed one.

Yes, I'm jealous, as I've never managed to photograph a green flash, though I've seen many of them. Congrats to Anne Mary for a nice capture!

Thanks to Anne Mary for allowing me to share her photo with you here. Anne Mary is a professional photographer, specializing in pet photography. Here is the link to her website: https://www.pawpawrazzipetphotography.com/ I can personally attest to her great talent, as she has photographed my husband, Rick, and me with our first two rescue golden retrievers.

Today is a warm, dry day, though there is fog hovering over the ocean. We've had quite a long string of dry weather after the abundance of early rain. It's time to turn the rain spigot on again!

Fly Amanitas, Amanita muscaria, have been popping up on the Mendonoma Coast. We are taking a break from the rains with sunny, very mild weather. These red-capped mushrooms with the white spots seem pretty darn happy. Kurt Fuchs photographed one recently.

As did Cece Case.

And Wayne Smith.

Dan Lewis also joined in the fun.

These mushrooms can be eaten, I'm told by David Arora, if you parboil them twice, throwing out the water between boils. Personally, I'd rather watch them in the forest and in meadows. They are fascinating as they evolve. I had a group growing under a huckleberry bush, but they all got eaten one night! Mushrooms feed a lot of critters.

Thanks to all above who allowed me to share their photos with  you here.

To all who celebrate the holiday today,  Happy Thanksgiving!

Jon Shiu noticed this young Peregrine Falcon hunting to our north. The peregrine nabbed a Gull for its dinner as many people observed the action.

Here’s what National Geographic says about these birds: “These falcons are formidable hunters that prey on other birds (and bats) in mid-flight. Peregrines hunt from above and, after sighting their prey, drop into a steep, swift dive that can top 200 miles an hour.”

Rick and I, along with Mel Smith, once watched a Peregrine dive at unbelievable speed after a Common Murre at the mouth of the Gualala River.

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

Another beautiful sunny day on the beautiful Mendonoma Coast.

This cute, little chipmunk, a Yellow-faced Chipmunk, peeked out of a ceramic birdhouse, a charming sight and photographed by Ruth Downes. Hope it brings a smile to your face!

It’s a clear, sunny day on the Mendonoma Coast!
