Calm, clear days followed by star-spangled nights, the winter that feels like autumn continues. Last night's sun beginning to set allowed Carolyn André to get a beautiful photo.
The sun has laid down a golden stairway across the Pacific Ocean, just lovely.
Thanks to Carolyn for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Big beautiful waves are crashing against the shore. Craig Tooley was out this morning and photographed the fury.
Craig noticed this Great Blue Heron on top of a tree, watching the waves come in.
Today is a good day to give the Pacific Ocean her due. Never turn your back on the ocean, as we have sleeper waves that can catch people unawares. Also the bluffs crumble so you don't want to stand close to the edge when big waves hit the coast. Just stay back a ways and enjoy the majesty of the Pacific Ocean.
Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photos. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is the link to his website: www.ruffimage.com
And below is a photo of the glistening Pacific Ocean, sparkling as if it were sprinkled with diamonds.
Autumn sunsets on the Mendonoma Coast can be spectacular. And they often bring the chance for a green flash. Remi Alexander got this beautiful photo on Saturday as the sun was about to set. The sun created a golden staircase across the Pacific Ocean.
Thanks to Remi for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Low tide is the time to tide pool. With the Pacific Ocean pulled back, many treasures are revealed. Ken Holmes recently saw this large group of Sea Anemones.
Ken wrote, “Maybe you have seen these patterns before...almost in rows and columns, a bed of young anemones waiting for the sea to return.”
Sea Anemones eat small fish and shrimp. They have venom that they use to paralyze their prey. Though the vast majority is not harmful to humans, it’s best to admire them without touching.
Thanks to Ken for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
