A burst of color for you today, courtesy of Shari Goforth!

Shari Goforth noticed this female Anna's Hummingbird feeding in a cloud of nasturtiums.

Thanks to Shari for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

It's a lovely autumn day here on the Mendonoma Coast. The 0.54 inches of rain received on Saturday, Oct. 12, helped fill up the ponds in seasonal creeks. Lots of tree needles down on forest paths, which smell wonderful in the dampness. It's sunny and breezy, with temps in the mid 70's.
