I'll let Beth Kattleman tell the story as she explored the southern entrance to the Point Arena-Stornetta Lands.

“I snapped this photo while walking along a bluff trail. It was the first time I had accessed this trail. Absolutely gorgeous. To the south is the Point Arena Pier, and northward leads to the Lighthouse.

“As I was walking I was watching a surfer try to catch some waves. He was unsuccessful and I moved along. THIS view stopped me dead in my tracks!  My husband and I often comment that everywhere you turn, prepared to be dazzled. Even views from the trails we frequently visit seem different from the day before, whether it’s the lighting, the changing sky, the wildness of the waves, the progression of seasons – it never gets old. I love it so much here.”

The southern entrance to the Lands is found behind Point Arena City Hall.

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

Allen Vinson recently visited the new addition to the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands. You access this beautiful land behind the Point Arena City Hall. While there Allen had some wonderful sightings. He also got this great photo of a fellow enjoying the waves off Arena Cove.

Allen visited at low tide as you can see by the photo below.

And he spotted a beautiful Ferruginous Hawk on top a tree.

I love this photo below of the big hawk taking off.

And here the hawk is soaring, perhaps looking for a meal.

And this last photo shows the hawk lit up by the sun.

We are very happy that these new lands were acquired and made available to all. They now form another portion of the California Coastal Trail.

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

Happy New Year! May 2014 be filled with wonder and joy.
