Pelican Bluffs isn't open to the public yet, but it will be soon. The Mendocino Land Trust has  paved the parking area and work has been done creating trails and building a boardwalk. Peter Reimuller walked these lands recently. The bluffs are very dramatic and beautiful. I really look forward to exploring here when it opens in the fall. I will let you know when the grand opening occurs.

February 23rd brought a full moon with passing clouds. Don Spear was out photographing the beautiful sight.

Rozann Grunig also photographed the full moon. Rozann's photo shows a halo, which is often a predictor of rain.

These halos were predicting rain! We've had lots of it. Since March 1, we have received 13.5 inches at our home in Anchor Bay, and our  year to date is 50.80 inches. Today we have a break from the storms, a break that should last until the weekend. After so much rain, the sun feels awfully good.

Thanks to Don, Rozann, and Peter for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

A beautiful new 75 acre parcel has been acquired by the Mendocino Land Trust. It is located south of Point Arena on the west side of Highway One. It isn't yet opened to the public but will be soon. Peter Reimuller recently explored the land and took these photos.

You can see that this is a very beautiful part of the Mendonoma Coast. Kudos to all who made the acquisition a reality. To learn more about the wonderful work done by the Mendocino Land Trust, here is the link to their website: http://www.mendocinolandtrust.org/

You can't miss this big caterpillar - it's lime-green! And it has little yellow and black antennas, and white spiky bumps, and lots of green feet.

Caterpillar of a Ceanothus Silkmoth by Peter Reimuller

At first I thought it was the caterpillar of a Hummingbird Moth but the markings were a little off. Then I thought of the huge Ceanothus Moth and...bingo!...I had the answer. This is the caterpillar of that beautiful moth.

Here is what this caterpillar becomes, photographed by Clay Yale. What a transformation!
