I love these spring wildflowers! They almost seem to reflect the sky. They grow on coastal bluffs and are native to California. Shari Goforth photographed Baby Blue Eyes, Nemophila menziesii,  near the Point Arena Lighthouse a few weeks ago.

And Julia Larke photographed a group of them.

Thanks to Shari and Julia for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

It's another warm day, but not quite so hot as the past two days. Shari told me there was a little fog this morning at the PA Lighthouse. Fog is Mother Nature's air conditioner!

Catherine Miller visited Pelican Bluffs recently and found these beauties, Baby Blue Eyes and California Poppies.

And Paintbrush on the cliff edge.

And Pussy Ears are having a big spring, seemingly everywhere!

Many, many more wildflowers are blooming on coastal bluffs now.

Thanks to Catherine for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

It's warming up! Breezy close to the ocean, but warm a bit inland. Many visitors are already here, getting ready for the Architectural House Tour and Mother's Day activities. Bonus sighting! Humpbacks, a mother and calf, were seen off the Point Arena Lighthouse Peninsula yesterday.

Mary Hunter was out with friends looking for wildflowers. The hike didn't disappoint. She found the white version of Baby Blue Eyes, nemophila menziesii var. atomaria.

And the unique Mission Bells, fritilaria affinis. 

Here Mary photographed Red Larkspur and Buttercups, Mother Nature's garden.

A wonderful place to see wildflowers now is Manchester State Park. On a recent hike, I found the normal blue-colored Baby Blue Eyes in profusion, a charming sight. And Paintbrush in various colors, and so much more.

Thanks to Mary for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Today it is warm with no wind. 78 degrees at my place in Anchor Bay.

The Point Arena Lighthouse is currently closed to the public because of the virus. But Tour Guide Mike Chandler filmed the Light Tower in 3D so you can virtually climb the tower and look out from the top. Here is the link: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=nghSa8aorZQ

Click on the button on the bottom lower left to start the tour, or play around in the 3D space. It's pretty wonderful!

Here is a photo of the Lighthouse, taken by Mark Hancock. Notice the Baby Blue Eyes blooming in front. They are blooming now.

Thanks to Mike and Mark for allowing me to share their video/photo with you here. To learn more about this iconic lighthouse and the accommodations once we can have visitors again, here is the link to the website: https://www.pointarenalighthouse.com/

brrr, it's cold today after the two weekend storms. It is also achingly beautiful with oh-so-blue skies and puffy clouds racing across the sky.

Spring doesn't know...

Mark Hancock heard on a radio interview on KGUA that I was looking forward to seeing Baby Blue Eyes, a native wildflower. He sent this photo, saying they are blooming in profusion at the Lighthouse.

Here's a closer look at one of these beautiful wildflowers, this photo was taken by Mary Sue Ittner.

Thanks to Mark and Mary Sue for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
