That would be the Brush Rabbit, Sylvilagus bachmani, who Adrian Adams recently photographed. They are a species of Cottontail Rabbits and found on the West Coast of North America.
Fun Fact: Brush Rabbits thump their back feet when startled.
Thanks to Adrian for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
It's sunny and breezy today, temps in the mid 70's.
Adrian Adams photographed this beautiful Anise Swallowtail Butterfly feeding on marigolds in his The Sea Ranch garden - a vision of loveliness.
Monarchs continue to arrive on coast where they feed before migrating southward. Rozanne Rapozo recently photographed one of these magnificent butterflies.
Thanks to Adrian and Rozanne for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
We are having another warm autumn day, and the Pacific Ocean is roaring. On my drive down to the radio station, KGUA, in Gualala this morning for my monthly Sightings talk with host Peggy Berryhill, ocean mist was spilling across the highway. On the east side, the morning sun created multiple sunbeams through the trees. The combination was amazing to see.
Sunsets are beautiful everywhere, but I'm partial to those on the Mendonoma Coast. Adrian Adams recently photographed this vibrant sight.
Sometimes you almost can't believe your eyes! Thanks to Adrian for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
It's warmer today with no fog this afternoon. The wind picked up with the disappearance of the fog!
Sunsets are beautiful this time of year. But after an early-in-the-year rainstorm, we have clouds to give us more drama. Gloria Wood photographed this beautiful sight. Kind of looks like a painting, don't you think?
Several weeks earlier Adrian Adams photographed these "cotton candy" clouds.
Cloud and sunset watching are a Mendonoma Coast tradition!
Thanks to Gloria and Adrian for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Another spectacular Autumn day here.
