When there are clouds to reflect the sunset, such beauty can be had. Adrian Bennett took this photo from her place at The Sea Ranch.

Adrian wrote, “My camera phone can’t capture the true beauty of this sunset but still pretty good! I am thankful that I am lucky enough to live with beauty everywhere.”

That’s a wonderful way to describe the Mendonoma Coast – living with beauty everywhere.

Another storm moved in yesterday afternoon bringing over a half inch of rain. 6.38 inches so far at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay!

Michael Reinhart found two adults and three juvenile White-tailed Kites recently. The first four photos are of an adult. I love the "from behind" view too. The third photo shows the kite hunting.

And here are the three juveniles.

To listen to a White-tailed Kite's call, here is the link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/White-tailed_Kite/sounds  It's described as a whistled yelp.

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

Weather report: sun...no, clouds...no, sun...whoops, a downpour...you get the picture! It's cool today too.

Eric Zetterholm was out photographing the two Gualala River Bald Eagles when he got this evocative photo of one of the eagles and the waning Moon visible that afternoon.

Isn't it beautiful? Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share it with you here.

Clouds began piling in this afternoon. Yes, rain is on the way!

Here’s a beautiful time lapse photograph of a Brown Pelican with several Gulls nearby, taken by the talented Phil Lewenthal.

I love how Phil’s photo slows down the waves…just amazing. And the Brown Pelican stayed still for the photo.

Thanks to Phil for allowing me to share his photo with you.

It was a spectacular day on the Mendonoma Coast today!

Last night's sunset was simply amazing, jaw-droppingly beautiful. I took this photo from our front deck. Fire in the sky!

Yesterday morning I took a walk on the Gualala Bluff Trail. The Gualala River is nice and full from the recent rains. It is still "closed" to the Pacific Ocean by the big sandbar. But more rain is coming in next week so perhaps the river will breach then. We'll be watching!

It's a spectacular day today, temps in the 70's. If you celebrate Thanksgiving, as I do, then let me wish you Happy Thanksgiving. If you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, then I hope you will give thanks for the beauty of the Mendonoma Coast!
