Allen saw a Doe with her Fawn on The Sea Ranch. The Doe kept her eye on Allen while the fawn continued down the path.

 Allen couldn't believe it when the little Fawn jumped up in the air, as if impersonating a Jackrabbit.

As the Fawn came down to the earth, the Doe looks like she telling Allen, "The show is over. Move on, Mister."

Thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see a photo of a Buck in velvet, here's the link to a previous blog post: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/06/17/bucks-in-velvet-have-appeared-on-the-mendonoma-coast/

It's been a while since I shared a sunset photo with you. Allen Vinson recently captured a lovely one, seen from a bluff on The Sea Ranch.

Wouldn't you like to sit on that log and enjoy the Pacific Ocean? The weather is wonderful and the Mendonoma Coast beckons.

A Turkey Vulture with its wings outstretched is an amazing sight to see. Allen Vinson recently photographed one on The Sea Ranch with the Pacific Ocean and big sky as a backdrop. Nice view, Turkey Vulture!

Turkey Vultures take sun baths to warm up and also to kill any bacteria left from their jobs as Mother Nature's garbage collectors. I don't want to think where we'd be without these carrion eaters doing their jobs.

May we all do our job to help clean up Mother Earth. Happy Earth Day today and every day!

Allen Vinson captured this spectacular photo of a storm approaching and the sunset. And we have a storm approaching today, which is good news! May the month of March be a rainy one so we can get back on track rain-wise.

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

A lone Gray Whale was headed north when Allen Vinson photographed him recently. I'm assuming it's a male because he was traveling alone. You can see the whale was quite close to shore.

 And here's what we often see, the back of the whale slicing through the water with the spout trailing off behind.
