Nancy Padgett photographed what she calls an alligator cloud. Do you agree? I can see it!
Thanks to Nancy for allowing me to share her fun photo with you here.
Lots and lots of rain, sometimes drenching rain. I'll give a rain total report when it's done, which should be by Wednesday morning.
Tricia Schuster found this Black-tailed Deer near her Sea Ranch home. He sure is handsome! And it turns out he likes birdseed.
The mating season of these Deer is over and this Buck will lose his impressive antlers in the weeks ahead. New and possibly even more impressive ones will grow next spring.
Thanks to Tricia for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
Temps in the mid 60s today with a gentle breeze. Rain headed our way starting on Sunday!
Carolyn Andre photographed the sunset from her home on The Sea Ranch.
And look at Sunday's sunrise - it was glorious too. Roxanne Holmes took the photo on the left, and Rozanne Rapozo took the one on the right.
Thanks to Carolyn, Roxanne and Rozanne for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Today has been cool with some fog along the immediate coast. Sunshine this afternoon!
Sara Bogard does a regular count of Harbor Seals at the PA Lighthouse Peninsula and the Point Arena-Stornetta Lands. She also notices and photographs other wildlife. The first bird is a Surf Scoter. This is a female and she is overwintering on the Mendonoma Coast. These sea ducks nest in far Northern Canada and Alaska.
Next Sara photographed a Belted Kingfisher. Males have one blue band across their white breast, while females have a blue and a chestnut band. I can't see any chestnut, so I think this is a male. They are year round residents here.
And then Sara found this Harbor Seal catching a Rockfish for its meal.
There is a LOT to see when you take the time to observe as Sara does!
Thanks to Sara for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
It was cool overnight, 40 degrees in the early morning. There are high clouds, which gave us a beautiful sunrise and, hopefully, a beautiful sunset!
This handsome Bobcat was hunting for rodents in the meadows near Larain Matheson's home.
The cat with the tufted ears and bobbed tail looks pretty healthy! And everyone knows there are plenty of gophers and other rodents along the coast.
Thanks to Larain for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
We had a vigorous rainstorm today. A little over a half inch in a short time. The Pacific Ocean is roaring!
