Mike Reinhart recently spotted two Gray Foxes at The Sea Ranch. I thought this close-up of one of the Gray Foxes was quite wonderful. In the second photo, I think the fox is smirking!
Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
A spectacular clear day today, temps in the mid 60s. Some clouds are drifting by this afternoon, giving the possibility of an exceptional sunset tonight!
Mike Reinhart and his wife were taking a walk on The Sea Ranch when they came across two Gray Foxes lounging in the sun. One fox took off but this one stayed for his closeup. Or her closeup.
It's fun to see the beautiful markings on this healthy-looking Gray Fox. He/she must be living lightly on the land!
Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
It was sunny this morning but clouds are pouring in, with a chance of some showers. Then we have what looks to be a dry spell for about a week.
Roland Coombs was taking a walk on The Sea Ranch when he saw a family of Gray Foxes.
Look at the kit closest to the mother - the little one is trying to nurse! Roland advises people to always take a camera when you take a walk. Good advice, which I always take.
Thanks to Roland for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Another very warm day on the Mendonoma Coast! But there's a hint of coolness in the gentle breeze, just a hint.
Spring doesn't know...
Gray Foxes are year round residents of the Mendonoma coast. It is quite normal here to see them in the daylight hours. Tracy Reaves photographed the beautiful face of a young Gray Fox.
And here she photographed an adult enjoying the sun, perhaps on the lookout for a tasty rodent.
Thanks to Tracy for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
Sunny, breezy, beautiful! I saw Humpback Whales about an half hour before sunset last night. What caught my eye was a big splash quite a ways out in the ocean. Then, as I was scanning the ocean with binoculars, I found a pod of five or six Humpbacks very close in, just passing Fish Rocks (Anchor Bay) and headed north. A wonderful way to end the day.
Maria Bardini-Perkins has a visitor to her property - a Gray Fox. He/she obviously feels very comfortable and safe there. Look at this relaxed Gray Fox!
Allen Vinson also photographed a Gray Fox in the sun, this one is yawning.
We haven't had much sun recently, at least close to the Pacific Ocean. It's been quite foggy. The month of August, at least the past ten days, has lived up to its nickname of "Fogaust." You don't have to travel far, though, to reach sun. Go a mile or two east and you are out of the fog.
Thanks to Maria and Allen for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see more of Allen's nature photography, here is the link: http://allenvinson.smugmug.com/
