Beautiful sunsets delight the senses. The colors are set off by the Pacific Ocean. Paul Brewer photographed this sunset a few weeks ago.
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: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/
One last small storm this afternoon/evening and then the weather is predicted to be sunny and warmer. Sounds like a good week to be on the Mendonoma coast!
Cooks Beach has become a favorite spot for locals and visitors. It's a fairly new public access spot, and we do love it! Many enjoy watching the sunset there, either from the bluff or down on the beach. Dede Plaisted recently captured this beautiful sight.

Thanks to Dede for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
It's cold and clear on the Mendonoma coast today.
Anne Mary Schaefer is a talented photographer. She recently captured a scene of great beauty at Cooks Beach with the vibrant colors of the sunset reflected in the Pacific Ocean, the creek and the sand.
Just lovely! This moment brought to you by the Mendonoma Coast. And, of course, Anne Mary. I thank her for allowing me to share her photo with you here. She is a talented pet photographer. Visit her website to learn more about her at this link: https://www.pawpawrazzipetphotography.com/about-me
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.
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!
