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.

Lilium pardalinum, also known as the Leopard Lily or Panther Lily, is blooming now. David Munson got this close up of the beautiful flower.

This plant is native to Oregon, California, and Baja California. It usually grows in damp areas. What a treat to see!

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

Last night, Saturday night, the fog held back for the fireworks show in Point Arena. And it was quite a dramatic, beautiful show. This morning the fog had moved in. Temps are in the 60s today. Considering all the terrible heat inland, this cooling fog feels like a blessing.
