A low pressure system brought a spectacular lightning storm off the San Francisco Bay area yesterday. It is slowly moving northward. Yesterday morning Craig Tooley took this photo at The Sea Ranch.

Craig entitled this photo "Morning Thunder." We hope the storm will stay offshore as dry lightning is never good news for California. Our rains usually begin in late October and until then we worry about the fire danger.

Nevertheless, the low pressure system is giving us beautiful clouds and cool temperatures.

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's photos, here's his website: www.ruffimage.com

Carolyn André photographed the sunrise on Feb. 25th. It was a stunner!

Watching the sunrise is the reward for early risers. Thanks to Carolyn for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Peggy Berryhill recently experienced a beautiful sunrise.

Several minutes later this vertical rainbow appeared. I haven't seen anything quite like it. Perhaps you know what this phenomenon is?

I thank Peggy for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

As Craig Tooley put it, the edges of the day are some of the most beautiful. This was how it looked on The Sea Ranch yesterday morning. Perhaps you might consider this an early holiday present.

The great Gray Whale migration continues with several pods seen yesterday. We have had little rain and the Pacific Ocean has been rather calm. That seems to be changing as the ocean is speaking of changes to come.

I wasn't the only one to photograph this morning's beautiful sunrise. Allen Vinson sent along a photo he took on The Sea Ranch. You can compare it with the one I took from our home in Anchor Bay, which is about seven miles north of Allen's home. First is Allen's photo.

And as if the lovely sunrise wasn't enough of a gift from Mother Nature, Rick and I found this Queen Bolete, Boletus aereus, near a path on our property. It is one of our favorite edible wild mushrooms.
