I was in awe of last night's sunset. The reds were magnificent and it lasted for well over fifteen minutes. Rozanne Rapozo took several photos from her home on The Sea Ranch and I thought this one looked like a painting. But she assures me it was the actual sunset!

I took this photo from inside Rick's and my house in Anchor Bay as the sunset was getting going.

Thanks to Rozanne for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

The vibrant sunset was letting us know a storm was headed our way. It's rather unusual in that it's coming in from the south. Most storms come in from the north. Batten down the hatches!

Happy New Year to you and yours!

David Fife’s motion detector camera just south of Anchor Bay, showed a large Mountain Lion that had its kill, a large Deer. I can’t tell from the short video if the Deer was a Buck or a Doe. David wrote, “This was taken in my driveway Sunday about one o'clock in the morning. All of my cameras have alarms, which I did hear; but I didn't bother to look because I just thought it was a deer. I was still up at that time, and if you look real close, you'll see my television flickering in one of the windows. That's when the Mountain Lion stops as it looks toward my house.”

This is amazing to see, but hard at the same time. The so-called food chain in action.

Thanks to David for allowing me to share his video and photo with you here.

It's cloudy and cool here today, Saturday. A few raindrops fell while my golden retriever, Honey Bun, and I took a walk.

The full Moon setting by Fish Rocks presented quite a beautiful picture. As evidence, just take a look at Rozanne Rapozo's photo. Fish Rocks is off Anchor Bay, about five miles north of Gualala.

Thanks to Rozanne for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Cold fog this morning, cold clouds this afternoon. Rain beginning tomorrow night!

Rozanne Rapozo goes the extra mile to get her photo of the Supermoon. She wrote, "I’ve been watching the movement of the Moon over the last month hoping when it was full, it would line up with either Gualala Point Island or Fish Rock.  Never got past 297 degrees so I thought the best chance to get the shot would be GPI. Got up around 4:15am and set out to meet Chris Beach at the north end of Sea Ranch to wait for the Moon to set.  Almost got the shot we both had  envisioned but the billowy clouds had a different idea! They moved in just as the Moon was beginning to set."

"Oh well, to steal a line from an old movie maybe we’ll try it the ‘same time next year.’”

I love Rozanne's photo and I bet you will enjoy it too. Thanks to Rozanne for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Are you ready for this rain report? The storm began a little after midnight on Wednesday Nov. 20th. It's rained steadily since then. At Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay, 640 feet elevation, by 2:40 pm Thursday Nov. 21st, we've received 12.51 inches. Yes, over a foot of rain and IT'S STILL RAINING! The Gualala River burst through the sandbar and was flowing into the Pacific Ocean this morning. Early this afternoon the Garcia River flooded Highway One. It's pretty wild here - a good day to stay home!

Last night's sunset had me gasping in awe. I had been working at my computer and looked out the window to see this.

You can see the sliver of the moon on the left. Beauty filled the sky and I was filled with wonder.

It's a beautiful, sunny day here with little or no wind.
