Cooks Beach has become a favorite spot for many of us. Look at the beautiful sunset photo Eric Duff took there recently. A Western Gull nonchalantly walks across the sand.

We have one more storm coming in this afternoon, the forecasters say. Then spring will make its presence known, with warm, sunny days ahead.

Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share this moment of beauty with  you here. To find out more about Cooks Beach, here's a link to the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy: http://www.rc-lc.org/
