It was such a special sunset on Feb. 28 that I can't resist sharing more photos of it. A huge thundercloud served as the perfect foil for the sunset. Paul Kozal captured this dramatic photo. It looks like a spaceship to me.

Colleen Cross caught the reflection of the sunset on a thundercloud, and in the Pacific Ocean.

And today there is nary a cloud in the sky and the temperature is spring-like. Gray Whales have been seen, all heading north. These are the newly pregnant females, perhaps now followed by the males. This is the perfect weekend to be on the Mendonoma Coast.

Thanks to Don, Colleen, and Paul for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is his website: http://www.paulkozal.com/

Saturday brought thunderstorms to the Mendonoma Coast. A huge thundercloud sat off of Gualala as the sun was setting. Here is a photo of it at 5:30 pm, followed by the sunset. It's quite beautiful to see the different colors on the thundercloud.

This last photo is of the sky overhead. It just was a magnificent, yet eerie, sunset with the storm clouds. Saturday's sunset was epic!

I have previously shared photos of the fantastic sunset we had on Valentine's Day. Rozann Grunig was in Jenner that day when the sun was setting. She got this dramatic photo with the lights reflected in the Russian River.

Rick and I watched this sunset too from our home in Anchor Bay. It *almost* doesn't look real, but I can assure you Richard's photo is the real deal.

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

Alfredo Orozco caught magic with his photo from Anchor Bay Beach.

And Robert Scarola, who photographed the amazing sunset from The Sea Ranch, did the same.

Today fog moved in, blanketing the Coast with moist, cool air. After the warm holiday weekend, the moisture is very welcome.

Thanks to Alfredo and Robert for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
