The Northern Lights began to appear around 11 pm last Friday. Molly Scaramella got a series of photos in Point Arena. Here is one of them.

Alan Reinke got this photo around 11:15 pm from The Sea Ranch.

We were hoping for more of this beauty Saturday and Sunday, but the fog rolled in, pulling the curtain on any more Northern Lights. What a treat, though! It's very rare to see them here.

Thanks to Molly and Alan for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Foggy this morning, but it has pulled back a bit. It's cool too, not even 60 degrees.

Alan Reinke recently photographed a beautiful, sharply defined fog bank over the Pacific Ocean. It's our air conditioning, here on the Mendonoma coast.

This morning the fog was heavy and wet, drippy wet. I wish I could send that moistness to the areas of fire, and to those suffering from a terrible heatwave in other parts of the country.

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

Alan Reinke noticed this amazing sight, a halo around the sun.

Alan photographed a Sun Dog, also called a mock sun. They are caused by the refraction of sunlight by ice crystals in the air. Sun dogs are most likely to be seen when the sun is near the horizon, as it is in Alan’s photo.

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

We are at the tail end of a wild storm. We received 2.5 inches of much-needed rain. The remarkable thing is how cold the coast is.

I can't choose! Here is Alan Reinke's striking photo.

Tricia Shuster captured this lovely sight.

Carolyn Andre was out photographing it too and found this beautiful color.

No, I just can't choose! Friday's sunset was one to remember.

Thanks to Alan, Tricia and Carolyn for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

It's always a happy sighting. Ospreys return to the Mendonoma Coast just in time for spring. Paul Brewer spotted this one on Easter Sunday.

That night Alan Reinke photographed the sunset from The Sea Ranch and wondered if the Pacific Ocean was on fire. Nope! Just another dramatic sunset.

Today we are having a mini heat wave, with very warm temps. Tomorrow the temperature is suppose to drop 20 degrees and the chance of rain comes back into the picture.
