Bettye Winters photographed these thunderclouds from the storm of last week. The storm was a very cold one and for a brief moment it snowed at our house in Anchor Bay - a very rare occurrence!
And the sunset the next night, Feb. 20th, was beautiful too.
Thanks to Bettye for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
I love it when the sunbeams pierce through the clouds, creating spotlights on the ocean. The remnants of a cold storm gave us a beautiful sunset last night.
Bettye Winters got an even better photo of a sunset several weeks ago.
It seems like no two sunsets are exactly alike. It's a wonderful thing to see the sunsets from the Mendonoma Coast. Thanks to Bettye for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
On Jan. 19th Bettye Winters photographed the sunset from Irish Beach. Yes, there was a green flash. Bettye's photographs show you what to look for when hoping for a green flash.
The horizon is clear and the sun appears to separate.
When you see this separation you know you will see a green flash.
It's small but it's there. The tiny green dot. Thanks to Bettye for allowing me to share her photos with you here. To see a close up view of the green flash, here's the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/02/07/the-green-flash-was-photographed-by-richard-kuehn/
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.
