Monday, November 26th, was filled with beauty. First, the incredible sunrise. The first photo is by Barbara Spillane.

The second photo was taken by me in Anchor Bay, just as the Pacific Ocean glowed purple.

Colorful sunrises don't last very long; their beauty is fleeting. You can't say that for sunsets though. They are the gift that keeps on giving. Tricia Schuster took this first photo at The Sea Ranch - isn't it an amazing sky?

Allen Vinson must have had a similar vantage point, but his was taken earlier when the clouds glowed pink. The ocean looks very calm.

Richard Hansen captured this sight from Gualala.

And lastly, Patti Lopez framed her sunset photo with a big tree, photographed north of Gualala.

Thanks to all who allowed me to share their photos with you here.

We had a nice, juicy storm overnight, and today is filled with showers. Our seasonal creek came to life, which means waterfalls on the Mendonoma coast!
