Connie King has a butterfly bush in her garden that attracts many different kinds of butterflies. Recently she saw her first Monarch butterflies visit her bush.

These large, beautiful (aren't all butterflies beautiful?) butterflies have dwindled in numbers. Climate change and habitat loss are two big reasons. The other reason is the use of pesticides and herbicides. That's a good enough reason not to use them!

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

It was hot here yesterday, 90 degrees. Today it's MUCH cooler. Clouds and fog have moved in.

They are so beautiful they almost take your breath away. I just love dragonflies! Connie King recently spotted this very handsome male Flame Skimmer in her Sea Ranch garden.

I rotated the photo on the right so you could see it both ways. Kathy Biggs, author of "Common Dragonflies of California," tells me dragonfly season is almost over. And so goes the cycle of life.

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

Sunny and breezy, with some fog over the ocean, a beautiful day.

Connie King photographed one of the first Fawns to appear this spring. You have to admit, he/she is very cute! And exquisite.

Breezy and sunny day today. Lots of visitors beginning to arrive! Welcome to the Mendonoma Coast!

Here's what Connie King had to say about her sighting:

"Another special moment in the season of fawns … twins taking a respite in our meadow, giving us front-row seats to their cuteness!"

So sweet to see! Thanks to Connie for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Sunny and quite breezy today, temps in the mid 70's at Rick's and my place.

Paul Brewer photographed a Doe and her two little fawns nursing near his Gualala home.

Janet Pierucci spotted two little Fawns at The Sea Ranch.

As did Connie King though she only photographed the one Fawn with its mother.

And here is Sheri Novak's video of her first sighting of Fawns this spring.

We love these little guys and gals covered in spots, nearly 300 spots on each Fawn!

Thanks to Paul, Janet, Connie and Sheri for allowing me to share their photos - and video - with you here.

Warm weather moved in today, and it's over 80 degrees at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay. Butterflies appeared, always a wonderful sightings.
