The weather has been wild - downpours, hail, wind, sun breaks. The ocean is riled up and quite loud this Sunday morning. Here is last night's rather unique sunset from Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay.
The setting sun looks like a flashlight shining on the ocean.
Sunday morning's temp is 38 degrees and hail pelted down for a few minutes.
Carolyn Andre photographed the sunset from her home on The Sea Ranch.
And look at Sunday's sunrise - it was glorious too. Roxanne Holmes took the photo on the left, and Rozanne Rapozo took the one on the right.
Thanks to Carolyn, Roxanne and Rozanne for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Today has been cool with some fog along the immediate coast. Sunshine this afternoon!
When there are clouds to reflect the sunset, such beauty can be had. Adrian Bennett took this photo from her place at The Sea Ranch.
Adrian wrote, “My camera phone can’t capture the true beauty of this sunset but still pretty good! I am thankful that I am lucky enough to live with beauty everywhere.”
That’s a wonderful way to describe the Mendonoma Coast – living with beauty everywhere.
Another storm moved in yesterday afternoon bringing over a half inch of rain. 6.38 inches so far at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay!
Last night's sunset was simply amazing, jaw-droppingly beautiful. I took this photo from our front deck. Fire in the sky!
Yesterday morning I took a walk on the Gualala Bluff Trail. The Gualala River is nice and full from the recent rains. It is still "closed" to the Pacific Ocean by the big sandbar. But more rain is coming in next week so perhaps the river will breach then. We'll be watching!
It's a spectacular day today, temps in the 70's. If you celebrate Thanksgiving, as I do, then let me wish you Happy Thanksgiving. If you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, then I hope you will give thanks for the beauty of the Mendonoma Coast!
Roxanne Holmes recently photographed a beautiful sunset off Shell Beach, at The Sea Ranch.
And Perry Hoffman photographed the sweet pinks and yellows of a sunrise from his Gualala home.
Thanks to Roxanne and Perry for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Sunny and cool today with very little wind...and achingly beautiful.
