Randy Jones was walking a local beach when he noticed this bit of an abalone shell in the shape of a heart.
Randy showed it to Mel Smith and me recently, and Mel took this photo on the shell resting on Randy's hand. I love seeing hearts in nature.
Thanks to Mel for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Sparkling blue skies and cool weather here on the Mendonoma coast today.
Craig Tooley was out looking for waterfalls. This is what he found just north of Greencove at The Sea Ranch. Quite a beautiful sight seen at low tide.
This time of year, the cloud show is just fantastic, as you can see in Craig's photo. Today we had early showers, followed by rainbows. That's a nice way to start your day!

What a sight it was! Dave Allen captured the magic of this Supermoon.
Dave wrote, "Did anyone else get a taste of this morning's eye candy? 😉
A photograph can hardly convey the sheer beauty and absolute miracle of a rock, we call earth!"

Over the past weekend, we had many, many showers followed by brilliant sunshine. That's a great recipe for rainbows. John Wall photographed this one through a window in his home on The Sea Ranch.
Then it started really pouring and John photographed the rainbow through a sleeting rain.
Today we have nothing but pure sunshine and a chance to dry out a bit.
Thanks to John for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
Adrian Bennett was the first to report it. She wrote, “The weather was clear to horizon with big puffy clouds. When the sun rose and hit them, they all turned into pink cotton candy fluffs. As the ocean waves hit the small bank of rocks between Monument Island and the shore, instead of mist, we saw steam! Yes, steam! First time I have seen that since I have been here 20 years.”
Scott Mercer took a photo of this phenomenon from the Physical Gym in Gualala. Scott said it was 33 degrees on their deck.
It’s called Sea Smoke or Steam Fog. It occurs when very cold air moves over warmer water.Thanks to Scott for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
We certainly have had some cold weather here. This morning it was 39 degrees on our deck in Anchor Bay. After a lot of rain, we are having a break today. This coming week looks to be mostly dry and exquisitely beautiful.
