Sara Bogard is a big fan of Harbor Seals. She recently photographed one obviously enjoying life.

While Sara is out on the bluffs of the Point Arena Lighthouse Peninsula, she is treated to many nature sightings. Here two young Brown Pelicans and a Western Gull are preening.

Thanks to Sara for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

It's was foggy this morning but the sun has appeared this afternoon. There are LOTS of visitors here - Gualala was packed earlier today. I will be at the Four-eyed Frog Bookstore tomorrow, Sunday, September 5, from 2 pm to 4pm. Here's the Frog's post, though the formatting is a little haywire! Not sure how to fix that.

Jeanne Jackson Brings Sunny to the Frog

Author Jeanne Jackson will be at the Four-Eyed Frog Bookstore from 2 to 4 pm on Sunday, September 5th. Jeanne is the author of Mendonoma Sightings Throughout the Year, and two children’s books, Sunny Loves Spring on the California Coast and Sunny Loves Summer on the California Coast. She also writes the Mendonoma Sightings column in the Independent Coast Observer.

 

You are invited to come and meet Jeanne at the Frog on this Labor Day Sunday. She will be autographing books, and several golden retriever stuffed animals will be given away. If you have already purchased one of her books and you’d like it personalized, bring your book to the event. New residents of the Mendonoma Coast are encouraged to meet Jeanne in person, as this is the first author event she has done since the pandemic began. Masks will be required.

 

Jeanne will also give a sneak preview to the other two Sunny books to come, Sunny Loves Autumn on the California Coast and Sunny Loves Winter on the California Coast. She will be showing some of illustrator Genny Wilson’s paintings for those two books, which she hopes to have available for the holidays. Free coloring pages will also be given out.

 
Sincerely,

Joel Crockett

Sara Bogard found this yearling Harbor Seal snoozing on the rocks off the Point Arena Lighthouse Peninsula.

This seal looks pretty content and relaxed. Thanks to Sara for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

We are having a lovely, sunny day with very little wind.

On a recent bluff walk on The Sea Ranch with Rick and friends, I spotted this blissful Harbor Seal stretched out on the rocks.

I took this photo with my super zoom, but the seal obviously heard us.

Hello, relaxed Harbor Seal! We sure didn't mean to disturb your rest.

Here's a fun fact: A Harbor Seal can dive 300 feet deep, and stay underwater up to 28 minutes!

It's sunny and quite warm today. There was a thin layer of smoke visible above the horizon during last night's sunset. But no discernible smoke from the inland fires today. Nothing but blue skies, at least in Anchor Bay and Gualala today.  ***UPDATE: 5:15 pm. Several hours ago smoke began to flow over the Mendonoma coast. We hope the winds will shift direction but for now it is hot and smoky here.
