I was so excited to find this group of Sugarsticks. They are growing on a neighbor's property under a huckleberry bush.

The large one is the largest I've ever seen and there are seven smaller ones emerging. They obtain sugar and other nutrients from underground fungus, which I believe it the Matsutake fungus. Every winter, Matsies emerge in this area.

There is a nice fog bank over the Pacific Ocean, but it's sunny in Anchor Bay. We had some hot air move in Saturday afternoon, and the temperature at our property went from 75 to 92 degrees in a matter of minutes. Yikes! It's not so hot today, thank goodness.

From our Anchor Bay perch, this is what the sunset looked like last night.

Just lovely, sunsets are the gift that keeps on giving.

Yesterday, and again today, the weather has been spectacular...spectacular if you love sunny, wind-free days. We know it won't last, so let's enjoy it for now.

I never take seeing a rainbow for granted. They bring delight every time. Irene and Rolf Fandrey photographed this one in Anchor Bay with a Common Raven flying by.

This one was photographed by Christopher Arnold off of Black Point Beach, Sea Ranch.

Thanks to the Fandreys and Christopher for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Today, after a pretty darn big rainstorm, we have sunny, mild weather. More rain for tomorrow. Bring it on, Mother Nature!

Many coast residents, and visitors too I would imagine, photographed the sunset on September 22. Tricia Schuster was one of them, photographing near her Sea Ranch home.

Paul Brewer also photographed the sunset, this from the vantage of Gualala.

And I photographed it too, a little further north of Paul, from our home in Anchor Bay.

Autumn is know for beautiful sunsets, as storms to our north bring clouds, but this one from the last day of summer was one to remember.

Thanks to Tricia and Paul for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

We need the onshore breezes to return to blow away the smoke that has enveloped the coast. The forecast shows they should arrive...may it be soon!

Karen Tucker photographed this ethereal sight - the full, or nearly full, moon shining over Fish Rocks off Anchor Bay.

A beautiful sight for you today. Fish Rocks has an active colony of male California Sea Lions. They obviously have a lot to say to each other as they can be heard barking all day long!

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

Sunny and breezy today.

Spring doesn't know...
