Gail Jackson photographed a yellow-faced bumblebee flying out of a California poppy blossom. Yellow pollen is coating the face and legs of this pollinator, nearly matching the patch of bright yellow hair on her head. If you look closely, you can see several grains of pollen drifting down from the bee. And she sports an orange pollen basket, called a corbicula, on her hind legs.

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

It's toasty warm here today. The smoke from the fire at Salt Point State Park/Timber Cove is south of us so it's a beautiful blue-sky breezy warm day here!

Bobcats are often seen in the daylight hours here on the Mendonoma Coast. Perhaps this Bobcat found a rodent for his/her meal and was resting in the sun. It's pretty great that Gail Jackson noticed this cat with the tufted ears and bobbed tail, as he/she is nearly camouflaged in the grass meadow.

The two rainstorms earlier this week brought 1.67 inches of rain - 2.18 season to date. Maybe we'll see some mushrooms soon!

We have had some spectacular sunsets the past several months, and that trend is continuing when it's not storming. Recently Gail Jackson took this photo of another beautiful sunset as a storm was moving out.

It's cloudy and cool here this afternoon, though we had some sun earlier!

Gail Jackson photographed this tranquil scene. Western Gulls, California Gulls and more were resting on a local beach.

And then a Peregrine Falcon arrives, undoubtedly looking for a meal.

All the Gulls weren't sleeping, though, and they all launched into the air.

It was sunny and cool this morning, but clouds are moving in this afternoon. Rain is predicted for Wednesday.

Gail Jackson photographed what we think is a young Coyote. See if you can spot him or her in Gail's photo.

I wonder how Gail knew a Coyote was in the brush! Here's a close-up of the Coyote.

It's stormy on the Mendonoma Coast today! I bet the mushrooms are loving the rain.
