Nancy Feehan found a very early Calypso orchid near Timber Cove.

 

And Karen Wilkinson found Shooting stars at Salt Point State Park.

Mirka Knaster found the first Douglas iris in bloom.

I love seeing the wildflowers arrive. It's like greeting old friends. Thanks to Nancy, Karen and Mirka for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

It's been very cold - 35 degrees this morning - and rainy, though we did have a dry spell during much of the day. It's raining again now. Tomorrow, Friday, is predicted to be dry as is early Saturday. Then more rain comes in! 36.02 inches so far season to date.

Mirka Knaster found this double waterfall at Black Point Beach on The Sea Ranch.

I found a pretty one at the Point Arena-Stornetta Lands a few days ago. I'll share that one soon.

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

The day started off calm but the winds picked up this afternoon. It's sunny and cool. Rain moving in tomorrow night. What a rainy season we've been having!

Mirka Knaster wrote, “Mother and kits were living under the ramp of my studio and playing like kittens, apparently without fear of me. I even had a ‘conversation’ with mama fox."

"They’re gone now but such fun when they were here.”

I must say that I'm jealous. I wish a Gray Fox family would be under one of my decks! I love Gray Fox kits so much that I picked a photo of one, taken by Craig Tooley, for our beautiful books, Mendonoma Sightings Throughout the Year.

Thanks to Mirka and Craig for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Our short but intense heatwave is over, thank goodness. Cool breezes came with the dawn. It's just about perfect today. The Mendonoma Coast is calling you!

Sometimes Mother Nature like to play tricks. Mirka Knaster found this Fly Amanita, Amanita muscaria, with another one growing out its top. It looks like a wild mushroom flying saucer!

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