Rainbows over the Pacific Ocean, over meadows, and even over Highway One, are a treat from Mother Nature. Many of us believe we are getting a hello from a loved one who has crossed over. I always try to photograph the ones I see from our place in Anchor Bay. Here's a recent one.

This photo of Peggy Berryhill's in on page one of the Independent Coast Observer this week. She titled it, "We're off to see the wizard!"

And here are two more rainbow photos taken by Peggy, including a double rainbow.

Perry Hoffman took this lovely rainbow photo after a recent storm

And Tom White took this spectacular photo of a rainbow at dawn on the first day of winter.

Each one is just glorious! Thanks to Peggy, Perry and Tom for allowing me to share their photos with you here. I hope you can take some of this beauty with you into the New Year!

Happy New Year. May there be peace.

Roxanne Holmes recently photographed a beautiful sunset off Shell Beach, at The Sea Ranch.

And Perry Hoffman photographed the sweet pinks and yellows of a sunrise from  his Gualala home.

Thanks to Roxanne and Perry for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Sunny and cool today with very little wind...and achingly beautiful.

Perry Hoffman said this was the happiest Harbor Seal he's ever met.

Now...did Perry's photo make you smile? Hope so!

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

We are having an amazing warm day after yesterday's storm. I had 0.46 inches in my gauge. The first Boletus edulis was found yesterday with many more to come in the days ahead.

California Sisters seems to be having a good year, as sightings continue to pour in. I saw several this morning, feeding on various flowers on the deck. Perry Hoffman recently photographed one up on the Gualala Ridge.

Monarchs are arriving now, such a pleasure. Perry photographed one at the same location as the CA Sister.

Thanks to Perry for allowing me to share his photos with you here. Perry will be showing some of his varied artwork at the Coast Highway Art Collective. See below for info!

It's warming up today! The next few days will be quite warm. Should be a chance to see a green flash at sunset with no fog on the horizon.

Several times Perry Hoffman has spotted a Coyote at the Lands. These first two photos were from a few weeks ago. This coyote looks pretty thin, and perhaps old - there is a lot of white on his/her muzzle.

Recently Perry saw this Coyote - the same one? - walking amidst the Black Angus beef cattle.

The Coyote sure doesn't seem to bother the cows!

Thanks to Perry for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

Perry tells me he has some of his artwork entered in Gualala Art's "Art in the Redwoods," which will be held this coming weekend, August 19 and 20. It's always a great event to attend. I'll be ringing bells in a sextet both days from 11:30 to 1 pm. You can read more about it at Gualala Art's website at this link: https://gualalaarts.org/

At 5 am this morning, lightning woke some of us up, lightning over the ocean.  Luckily it stayed offshore. Today is cloudy and cool. We even have a chance of a few raindrops!
