We get some fabulous cloud displays in autumn here on the Mendonoma Coast. Eric Zetterholm recently photographed an interesting sunset.

Yes, I can see a city - this is could almost be a Fata Morgana mirage, but they are usually just above the horizon or floating on the horizon. Whatever this is, it is beautiful and intriguing!

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

It was very cool overnight but today turning into a lovely warm and sunny day with no wind. Hooray for Autumn!

The rut - the mating season - of the Black-tailed Deer has commenced. John Meyer got this beautiful photo of a Doe running with the ocean in the background. She very well could be running from a randy Buck.

Eric Zetterholm watched and photographed as a Buck approached a more willing Doe.

Eric told me the Buck did mount the Doe. It's time to drive a little more carefully while these big Bucks only have one thing on their minds!

Thanks to John and Eric for allowing me to share their photos with you here!

Warm and muggy this morning with overhead clouds. Hot this afternoon as the clouds have disappeared for the most part.

Eric photographed two dear deer - fawns in this case - looking at him.

I wonder what these fawns are thinking!

Lots of cool, moist fog recently. Sometimes it clears in the afternoon. Here on the Mendonoma Coast August is known as Fogust.

Flying over bluffs and the Pacific Ocean, Aleutian Cackling Geese have been streaming northward in very large flocks.  Eric Zetterholm photographed this sight on The Sea Ranch.

Michael Coustier got a closer look.

Shari Goforth got this video as the geese passed Gualala Point Island.

Eric Zetterholm was down near the Gualala River when he spotted these two Bald Eagles. The sub-adult eagles is on the left. I believe he/she is about 3 1/2 years old. The eagle on the right is an adult.

Here Eric got another view and the young eagle is stretching its wings.

Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

On Friday, at Gualala Arts' Festival of Trees, a Bald Eagle flew over the arts center, delighting visiting family members.

It's sunny and mild today with some clouds - another beautiful day here on the Mendonoma Coast!
