The Serge (pronounced ser-gay), a ceremonial hitching post, sits beautifully in a meadow at Gualala Point Regional Park. Loch Michie used the Serge to frame the then closed Gualala River with the town of Gualala to the right and the Pacific Ocean to the left. Just beautiful!

Thanks to Loch for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Today is near perfection, weather-wise! No wind, sunny skies, and temps in the low 70's. We know it won't last, as rain will be moving back in late Saturday. But for today, the living is easy!

Here's the Bobcat lurking in the grasses at The Sea Ranch.

Then the Bobcat showed him or herself.

And finally Eric saw it saunter over to a neighbor's house.

Bobcats are often seen hunting for rodents during the daylight hours!

Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

Cloudy and drippy here today - light rain. I'll report on rain totals tomorrow.

We have had some spectacular sunsets the past several months, and that trend is continuing when it's not storming. Recently Gail Jackson took this photo of another beautiful sunset as a storm was moving out.

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

It's cloudy and cool here this afternoon, though we had some sun earlier!

I guess everyone drops something now and then. Rozanne Rapozo was watching and photographing this Cedar Waxwing feeding on a cotoneaster bush, stilled filled with ripe red berries. But this bird dropped a berry and Rozanne captured with her camera and talent.

We see the nonbreeders here this time of year. The best way to spot these birds - other than finding a bush full of fruit - is to listen for their calls. You can listen at this link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cedar_Waxwing/sounds

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

It was a beautiful, sunny day here this Friday. No rain in the forecast. The Mendonoma Coast is a great place to explore during this break in the rains.
