The clouds that drifted up from monsoonal moisture to our south brought glorious sunrises and sunsets over the weekend, a week ago. Grace O’Malley wrote, “You know how winter sunsets are the best ever? Well, on Saturday night we were dining at our friends’ house just down the coast from us in Timber Cove, and the skyscape colors in the gloaming hour after sunset were so simply spectacular that the cloud reflections turned the ocean pink.”

Sometimes you just can't believe your eyes! Just magnificent...

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

The weather today is...well, changeable. It's down 20 degrees from yesterday, in the low 60's with intermittent sprinkles.

Sometimes you can hardly believe your eyes. Greg Talamini photographed this beautiful sight from his home in Gualala!

Thanks to Greg for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Bonus sighting: Lots of Humpback Whales have been seen swimming north.

Additional bonus sightings can be had at the Gualala Arts Center. Today was opening day for Meadow as Muse, curated by Karen Wilkinson. It's fantastic! Here's a link to learn more about it: https://gualalaarts.org/2026/05/meadow-as-muse/

Absolutely stunning day here today, with a nice breeze.

Earlier this week, on Monday to be exact, the Mendonoma Coast was treated to a beautiful sunset. In Point Arena, Mel Smith captured some of the magic.

Some of us call the sunbeams through the clouds God's rays.

Thanks to Mel for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

It's a lovely spring day here today, temps in the low 70's!

Scott Chieffo was at Manchester Beach when he got this beautiful photo. I love the reflection of the setting sun on the wet sand.

This morning's sunrise was pretty spectacular too. I photographed this through our window!

Thanks to Scott for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Scott's photography, here is his website: https://www.schieffophotography.com/

No rain in sight. Thank goodness we received over 12 inches earlier last month!

David Munson captured much of the beauty of last night's sunset.

I went on a mushroom hunt with friends in the late afternoon yesterday. As we returned to Rick's and my place, we could see the colors splashed across the sky behind the house. My friends left and I hurried inside to get a photo of the sunset. But...but...a cloud washed up and over our area and the colors of the sunset didn't penetrate it! What mushrooms did we find? Matsutakes!!! Way earlier than most years.

Thanks to David for allowing me to share his photo with you!

We have a wet storm bearing down on the Mendonoma Coast. I'll have rain totals for those interested tomorrow. Bring it, Mother Nature! And I think the Gualala River might be able to breach the sandbar with all the rain coming.
