Alfredo Orozco caught magic with his photo from Anchor Bay Beach.
And Robert Scarola, who photographed the amazing sunset from The Sea Ranch, did the same.
Today fog moved in, blanketing the Coast with moist, cool air. After the warm holiday weekend, the moisture is very welcome.
Thanks to Alfredo and Robert for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
We had a male and female Bald Eagle at the Gualala River for several weeks. They have been spotted elsewhere. Jerry Anon photographed them at Anchor Bay Beach.
And Beth and Jeff Petit saw one at the mouth of the Garcia River.
We hope they built a nest somewhere here on the Mendonoma Coast. It has been quite exciting to see these majestic birds. I hope to have new sightings of these eagles soon!
Thanks to Jerry, Beth and Jeff for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
I will never become blasé about our beautiful sunsets - they are to be savored. Seeing the sun "set" into the Pacific Ocean is a privilege. Jerry Anon took this photo recently, capturing a moment of loveliness off Anchor Bay Beach.
Paul Brewer also photographs sunsets, often from his home in Gualala. Here is a recent photo from Paul showing waves hitting Castle Rock and the bluffs with a beautiful sunset to set it all off.

Anchor Bay Beach is a wonderful place to see wildlife, watch the sunset and admire the waves. Donna Woodbury enjoyed a visit recently and was rewarded with the sighting of a Bald Eagle. She showed the big bird to Jerry Anon and he took this photo.
Jerry also caught a beautiful photo at Anchor Bay Beach of what he calls a glass wave. Just beautiful!
Thanks to Donna for sharing her sighting and to Jerry for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
I love this time of year when the Pacific Ocean comes to life. Add in the beautiful sunsets and warm, soft air and you'll see why October is one of my favorite months of the year. Tom Eckles recently photographed the wave action at Anchor Bay Beach.
Just for fun I have included several other photos Tom has taken at Anchor Beach at different times of the year.
We have a full moon tonight, the Hunter's moon. Wherever you may be, we will be looking at the same beautiful moon.
