Dennis Latona recently visited the Fort Bragg area and sent in several photos from his visit. The first is Peanut Face, a Western Gray Squirrel.

And here are a couple of masked bandits - Raccoons - out looking for trouble or, more likely, food.

And finally a Striped Skunk drinking from a water dish. If you put out water, you might be amazed at the wildlife that comes to it.

Thanks to Dennis for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Dennis' nature photography, here's the link to his website: www.pinenutz.com

Any Abalone ten inches or more is considered a trophy abalone. Here is what one looks like.

Paul Weston took this photo of one happy hunter of red treasure. Paul wrote, “[Here is a photo] I took of Louie Ozenne with a 10 1/4 inch Abalone taken on the outside of Schooner Gulch. The depth was between 25 and 30 feet. Louie was thrilled; his normal passive personality actually changed to one of an extrovert. Congratulations, Louie!”

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photo and congratulations to Louie on his feat!

Craig Tooley was out early with his camera. Sunrises on the Coast can be magnificent.

You can see the big fog bank out over the Pacific Ocean. It's keeping our temperatures nice and mild.

There is a touch of autumn in the air. Autumn can bring us beautiful clouds as storms to our north slowly begin tracking south. Beautiful clouds like these that were also taken by Craig.

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is the link to his website: ruffimage.com

Don Spear had his camera when he was headed north of Gualala the other day. He was captivated by the cloud show.

I thank Don for allowing me to share his photos with you here so we can see these beautiful clouds.
