Chris Pechal managed to capture a recent green flash at sunset.

I have tried for years to photograph one and come up short every time! Fortunately, others are more proficient. Since green flashes are said to bring good luck, let me wish you good luck in the New Year. 2020, we won't miss you one bit.

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

Sunny with clouds today, and crashing waves are reverberating on cliffs and beaches. We received .29 inches from yesterday's rain. More rain in the forecast.

Many of us love to watch the sunset and see if there will be a green flash at the moment the sun disappears. Steve Woolson captured just that recently.

I've seen several green flashes this past week, and it always feels like a gift.

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

Sunny, mild weather but perhaps some wet stuff tomorrow, Saturday.

I didn't get a photo of it, but there was a emerald green flash at sunset last night, and it was particularly meaningful to me. I thought I'd share several photos of the green flash sent in to me over the years.

Jim Grant captured a double green flash, an amazing photo. Green flashes are photographable mirages.

This one was taken by Allen Vinson. Allen almost specializes in green flashes.

Here's Allen with a green flash cocktail. Nice!

Thanks to Jim and Allen for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Sunny, mild, clear weather today.

Last week there were several green flashes at sunset.  Michael Reinhart was ready with his camera and he got this photo of the optical illusion. See the green on top of the clouds? And then again on the horizon - a double green flash!

Here's a green flash taken a few years ago by Rich Kuehn. The sun appears to narrow and then pinch off at the middle. This is a perfect example of that phenomenon beginning to occur.

And Jim Grant got this amazing photo of a double green flash.

Green flashes come in various guises. To watch the sunset is always wonderful, but if you also get to see a green flash, consider yourself blessed!

Thanks to Michael, Rich and Jim for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

The fog pulled back this afternoon and the Pacific Ocean is sparkling in the sun.

Several weeks ago, Ron LeValley captured magic by photographing a green flash at sunset.

It's so fleeting that you might  miss it if you blink! It's said to bring good luck. How about if we agree that simply looking at Ron's green  flash photo will bring us good luck? Agreed!

Thanks to Ron for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Ron's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://levalleyphoto.com/home/

We had a two-day heat wave but the coast's natural air conditioning, fog, has returned this morning.
