Eric Duff was at Cooks Beach when he photographed this beautiful sunset.

Cooks Beach is just north of the town of Gualala. You can learn more about this wonderful pocket beach at the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy's website at this link: https://www.rclc.org/what-we-do/cooks-beach/ I'm such a fan of RCLC.

Deborah Vanderwoude noticed this unusual cloud recently and said she thought it looked like a bird, which I can see. I also thought it looked like an angel if you looked at it another way.

Thanks to Eric and Deborah for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

We are having a spectacular warm day on the Mendonoma Coast today.

Many could hardly believe their eyes - the sunset was that spectacular. Allen Vinson photographed the splendor.

You can see the Pacific Ocean was pretty in purple from the reflection of the sunset. Sweet!

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

We received .30 inch of rain last night and the season to date is now 35.60 inches. Sweet! Today started off sunny. I took a walk with a friend on the Gualala Bluff Trail in the late morning and we were toasty warm from the sun and lack of wind. But then a cold fog swept in from the ocean, dropping the temps and cooling us right back off.

Sunsets are beautiful this time of year. But after an early-in-the-year rainstorm, we have clouds to give us more drama. Gloria Wood photographed this beautiful sight. Kind of looks like a painting, don't you think?

Several weeks earlier Adrian Adams photographed these "cotton candy" clouds.

Cloud and sunset watching are a Mendonoma Coast tradition!

Thanks to Gloria and Adrian for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Another spectacular Autumn day here.

Storms to our north or south may very well bring clouds to the Mendonoma Coast this time of year. And when they do, a beautiful sunset might be seen. Paul Brewer recently photographed this sunset, which is reflected in the Pacific Ocean. Three Western Gulls fly over the kelp beds. Yes, the kelp forests have recovered and are back, for which we are thankful.

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

It's been cool and foggy all day. And we have a chance of some wet stuff - RAIN! - tomorrow, Saturday.

Wayne Smith photographed this beauty, which we believe is a Giant Puffball.

Barbara Thrush photographed a Short-stemmed Russula.

There is beauty in the fungus that appears after some rain. It's been too dry this past week for many mushrooms to appear, but that looks to be changing, starting Friday.

Thanks to Wayne and Barbara for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Today is sunny and mild. Last night's sunset was so beautiful. Okay, bonus photo! Taken by me last night.
