Peter Cracknell spotted this Coyote at the Point Arena-Stornetta Lands. We don't see many Coyotes on the coast.
One of my favorite photos of a Coyote was taken some years ago by Pepe Alvarez.
Thanks to Peter and Pepe for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
This Bobcat was very well camouflaged in the tall grasses but Peter Cracknell still noticed it.
In the second photo, the Bobcat has its eyes nearly closed. The sun must feel good!
It's much cooler on the coast today. Fog is hugging the immediate coastline, bringing a welcome coolness after the heat wave.
Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Peter Cracknell spotted this beautiful Bobcat recently.
Peter edited the photo using Color Splash for his iPad. It shows the cat with the tufted ears in color, but the rest of the photo is in black and white, an interesting composition.
Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Tree Mercer was out near the Point Arena-Stornetta Lands and took my advice to always check near your toes. Wildflowers can be very small. She looked down and this is what she found - Redmaids, Calandrinia ciliata.
California Poppies have been amazing this spring. Peter Cracknell photographed one tightly closed up, a rather unusual look at this wildflower.
Native rhododendrons, Pacific Rhododendron, are blooming. Catherine Miller took this photo.
Today we are having light rain showers. That can only benefit our beautiful native wildflowers. Thanks to Tree, Peter, and Catherine for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Peter Cracknell photographed this surfer and titled his photos, "Wipe out!"
You can see the Bull Kelp in the water. I'm sure this surfer got back on his or her board and road the waves again.
Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
