At low tide the ocean sometimes reveals one of the exotic creatures that lives within. Jodi Goshorn photographed a Nudibranch, a sea mollusk that sheds its shell after its larval stage. They are commonly called Sea Slugs and they are uncommonly beautiful.
Thanks to Joni for allowing me to share her photo with you.
Craig Tooley caught this magnificent photo of the Dec. 16th sunset.
The beach, rocks, surf and the sunset just beginning, this photo has it all.

When the Pacific Ocean works itself into a frenzy, strange things can happen. Noel Olson and her son found an Octopus tossed up onto the beach. It was alive and Noel's son got it back in the water. This first photo is what the octopus looked like when it got back in the water. It changed its color to match the coral and rocks.
Below is what it looked like out of the water, a yellow-beige.
Hooray to Noel and her son for saving this Octopus! And thanks to Noel for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
There are dark clouds over the ocean and perhaps we will get some much-needed rain. The wind has picked up too after many days of calm weather. Do your rain dance!
Recently Bill Lange was traveling along Highway One. He captured this beautiful photo near the Jenner Grade.
The fog covers the Pacific Ocean and drifts up the bluffs - just lovely.
Thanks to Bill for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Robert Scarola photographed a flock of Red-winged Blackbirds silhouetted by the setting sun.
