Waves are fascinating to watch and to photograph. Ron LeValley photographed this wave off of Little River, close to the town of Mendocino.
Thanks to Ron for this beautiful photo. You can almost hear and smell the salt air, can't you?!

Paul Brewer has a knack for taking beautiful photos. Here are two photos of a recent sunset. The first shows the Serge, a ceremonial hitching post, with the Pacific Ocean beyond.
The second photo shows the Gualala River, which is currently blocked off from the Pacific Ocean by a big sandbar. It won't open until enough rain has fallen, usually sometime in the fall.

Allen Vinson noticed these two Harbor Seals sharing a moment while perched on a rock off of The Sea Ranch. If only we knew what they were "saying."
Thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Tom Eckles saw the first Monarch Butterflies in his garden in Gualala.
The fall migration is just beginning. Journey North is a citizen science project where you can report your own sightings of Monarchs and other creatures. Here is their website: http://www.learner.org/jnorth/

Several weeks ago we had monsoonal moisture drifting up from the south. It made for a beautiful cloud show as the sun began to set. I took this photo from our deck in Anchor Bay.
Some Mendonoma loveliness for you today...
