As we enter November, I wanted to share one last October sunset with you. Robert Scarola took these two photos of the same sunset. It is wonderful to watch a sunset evolve on the Mendonoma Coast.

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

Nan Brichetto came across this little green frog on the gravel banks of the Gualala River. It's a Chorus Frog or Sierran Tree Frog. It used to be called  a Pacific Tree Frog but its name was changed recently.

These frogs have a big call which sounds like "ribbit, ribbit." They are able to change their color to match their surroundings. Below is a Tree Frog changing from green to rusty red. This was photographed by Clay Yale.

It must be nice to be able to camouflage oneself! Thanks to Nan and Clay for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Mark was watching this Bobcat hunting Gophers at his place in Manchester. The Bobcat was so intent that it ignored Mark and his camera.

 And you will see below, the Bobcat was successful.

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

Several weeks ago Peggy Berryhill was driving by Jenner when she saw a white arc in the sky - a fog bow.

Rainbows, fog bows, moon bows - they are always a treat to see. Thanks for Peggy for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
