I can't resist sharing such beauty with you. Photographer Paul Brewer was in Jenner when the sunset looked like this.

Breathtaking, don't you think?!

We had some welcome rain yesterday morning. We had .17 inch in our rain gauge. Not much, that's true, but September rain is always a boon.

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/

Connie King captured this moment of peace, a young Buck asleep in the grass.

This young buck is living lightly on the land at The Sea Ranch. Thanks to Connie for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Allen Vinson spotted this handsome bobcat recently, strolling through the grasses.

The bobcat is looking right at Allen! This looks like a big bobcat. I think it's interesting to know that the markings on each bobcat's coat is unique to itself, just like our fingerprints are to us.

Here's a photo Allen took some years ago, a favorite of mine. You can see the tufted ears quite clearly in this photo, and a douglas iris in the background.

Bobcats can be seen fairly often hunting for gophers and other tasty rodents in meadows on the Mendonoma coast.

Craig Tooley photographed this inchworm working its way up a redwood tree near Craig's house.

Inchworms aren’t actually worms; they are caterpillars who will transform into Geometer Moths. These caterpillars have legs only at both ends of their bodies, which makes them arch their bodies up as they travel along looking for insects. They are also called Measuring Worms.

Take a look at this video Craig took of the inchworm. They sure have a unique way of moving.

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

Paul Kozal photographed the dramatic sight of lightning over Black Point Beach.

Fortunately the lightning was short-lived and calm weather returned to the coast.
