Over a year ago this Buck was spotted on The Sea Ranch missing the lower part of its back right leg. We don't know how this Buck was injured but nature has a way of cauterizing a wound like this. The Buck was named Tripod by Adrian Bennett. George Marshall recently photographed this Buck, so he is managing to survive despite his disability.
This Buck is surviving, and even thriving, living lightly on the land at TSR.
Thanks to George for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Craig Tooley photographed a recent early morning off The Sea Ranch.
Another recent photo shows two seasonal waterfalls - just beautiful!
Tomorrow, Saturday Dec. 27th, Craig and I will be at the Four-eyed Frog Bookstore in Gualala signing our book, Mendonoma Sightings Throughout the Year. 2 to 4 pm. If you are town, stop by and say hello!
Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is his website: www.ruffimage.com.
All the rain we've had has brought seasonal waterfalls to life. Allen Vinson recently photographed the waterfall at Stengel Beach.
Isn't it beautiful? Stengel Beach is a public access point on The Sea Ranch. There is a very short trail out to the bluffs to see this waterfall.
Thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Paul Kozal found this immense Boletus edulis on The Sea Ranch.
It weighed well over four pounds. It's certainly the biggest one I've ever seen and Paul agrees.
Carol Kozal took this photo of Paul and I thank her for allowing me to share it with you here.
Allen Vinson looked out his Sea Ranch home and saw a Bobcat on its back with its feet in the air, obviously scratching its back. The Bobcat then stood up and stared right at Allen!
The cat with the tufted ears and bobbed tail actually took a few strides towards Allen. But it veered off and went its own way, leaving Allen in peace.
Thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
