The weather warnings sound ominous, with many inches of rain forecast to fall in the days to come. Eight to fifteen inches of rain? It's hard to wrap one's head around it. Up until today we have had wonderful weather with many beautiful sunsets. Here's a recent one I took from our deck in Anchor Bay.

Last Friday the horizon was clear and there was a beautiful green flash at sunset. To see one of the photos of a green flash on this site, here's the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/02/07/the-green-flash-was-photographed-by-richard-kuehn/

And to see a green flash that turned into blue and then violet, here's a very rare photo taken by Ron LeValley: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/08/10/a-green-flash-that-turned-into-something-more-as-photographed-by-coastal-photographer-ron-levalley/

Before the rains closed the curtain to the view, the sunsets this past week have been amazing. One night the sunset colors lasted for at least a half hour. Wendy Bailey was down at Anchor Bay Beach, getting her "beach therapy." She photographed this beautiful sunset.

Just lovely. Thanks to Wendy for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

When a storm moves on it sometimes leaves unsettled weather behind it. That was the case recently when we had rainbows, even a hail storm and beautiful sunsets. Bettye Winters photographed one of the rainbows near Irish Beach.

 And below is the hail storm, which I photographed from our deck. It hit us some minutes later.

 And the few remaining clouds made for a dramatic sunset Friday night.

Thanks to Bettye for allowing me to share her rainbow photo.

Bettye Winters photographed several different sunsets recently from the bluffs near Irish Beach. The Mendonoma Coast has had some early rainstorms and a cold storm is forecast for tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. Storms to our north bring unsettled skies, which is what Bettye named this first photo.

And the photo below is an example of an autumn sunset. We are fortunate indeed to see the sun set "into" the Pacific Ocean.

 And the photo below could be a painting. Bettye calls this one stormy weather.

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

As we enter November, I wanted to share one last October sunset with you. Robert Scarola took these two photos of the same sunset. It is wonderful to watch a sunset evolve on the Mendonoma Coast.

Thanks to Robert for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
