Catherine Miller photographed Douglas Irises in bloom at Pelican Bluffs. They are so lovely to see with the Pacific Ocean as their backdrop.
Many other wildflowers are blooming now. I'll be sharing more photos of them in the days ahead.
Thanks to Catherine for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Catherine Miller found this big tooth recently. She wondered which animal it came from.
Ken Bailey took a look at this photo and he believes it is the tooth of either a CA Sea Lion or a Harbor Seal. It's a pretty fun find!
Thanks to Catherine for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
I found my first Matsutake a day after the recent rains. We received 3.79 inches from the two storms. Many more matsies to come, I hope, in the days ahead.
Chanterelles were found by Catherine Miller. She said they were in deep forest duff. The next couple of days could be great for those who love to forage for edible mushrooms!
A sunny, stunning day on the Mendonoma coast today.
Catherine Miller found these lovely native wildflowers growing on the bluffs in southern Mendocino county - Mission Bells. They are also called Checker Lily.
These flowers are members of the Lily family and their scientific name is Fritillaria affinis. Promise you will never dig up one in the wild.
Thanks to Catherine for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
We have a big, juicy storm headed our way. Batten down the hatches!
When the ocean calms down and does its best imitation of a placid lake, some take to the water to experience ocean kayaking. Catherine Miller and Hal Ferguson did just that recently. Fishing was also involved!
These photos were taken off of Arena Cove. Thanks to Catherine for allowing me to share them with you here.
