On and off storm systems have brought dramatic clouds to the Mendonoma Coast. Karen Wilder was out at the Point Arena Lighthouse bluffs and she captured this lovely sight.

 

Sunrises have been striking too. I photographed this one from my deck in Anchor Bay on Oct. 19. A vision of loveliness in pink!

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

Rain and more rain! The  temperature is quite mild and the rain continues to fall today. A big storm is due in Sunday, an atmospheric river of rain. Will it be enough to open the Gualala River? We'll be watching.

This little squirrel, also called a Chickaree Squirrel or a Pine Squirrel, was looking right at Craig and his camera.

They eat pine seeds, acorns, berries and other fruits, and they are waiting for the first mushrooms to appear, as they eat them too.

Actually two people have found edible mushrooms recently, Boletus eduilis and Oyster mushrooms. But it's been too dry since our first two storms for many mushrooms.

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his fun photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.ruffimage.com

We had a beautiful sunrise this morning, as clouds have been streaming by. Bonus pic taken by me. See the big moon in the upper right. A lovely way to start the day.

There are a lot of clouds this afternoon so we could have a spectacular sunset!

Monday's sunrise was so beautiful and Paul Brewer was ready to photograph it so we could all see it.

Now that's a nice way to start your day!

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photo with you here. Paul's photographs are for sale through Gualala Arts' gallery, the Dolphin Gallery, which has a new home in Cypress Village in Gualala.

A breezy, sun-splashed day, with lots of people arriving for the holiday. And the paving/striping of Highway One from the Gualala Bridge to Point Arena is finally, beautifully done. Hooray!

If you’re a fisherman in a kayak, fishing off The Sea Ranch, you’d probably prefer not to see a Great White Shark. Ken Fischer wrote, “Four of us were out fishing this past Saturday and Bruce Bonfils caught this big Lingcod, 35 inches and 23 pounds. We also had a visit from a Great White Shark of about seven feet in length who cruised by very close to a couple of our kayaks. A memorable morning!”

There is no photo of the shark, but I can show you Bruce's big catch - that's one happy fisherman!

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

Still hot on the Mendonoma coast, though right at the water's edge, it is really nice. Big cool down coming according to the weather folks. This morning's sunrise was stellar! I took this from our deck in Anchor Bay.

Gary Levenson-Palmer photographed this beautiful sunset before a rather vigorous storm arrived today. It's amazing how many colors are in this magnificent scene, which was seen off of Irish Beach.

Nancy Trissel photographed this sunrise a few days ago from her home north of Gualala. Sunbeams piercing the clouds makes a beautiful sighting.

Thanks to Gary and Nancy for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

We did have some heavy rain today, which was rather a surprise. Sunday is suppose to bring a big storm. We never complain about getting rain, though. It's a blessing.
