Last week skies were clear for watching the Perseid Meteor Shower. Paul Kozal outdid himself with this photo of the Milky Way and a streaking meteor on the right.

Paul took this photo at Cooks Beach, a lovely pocket beach just north of Gualala. To learn more about this beach, here is the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy's website: https://rclc.org/cooks-beach/

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his gallery, https://www.paulkozal.com/Visit-the-Gallery

I never get tired of rainbows and I hope you don't either! Cooks Beach is a beautiful pocket beach north of Gualala. Steve Bennett recently got this photo of the beach and a lovely rainbow.

Wow, we had an early morning downpour, 0.50 inches, and 48.52 season to date. More rain coming starting Sunday afternoon. But when you look at next week, after Monday it looks like spring is arriving early on the Mendonoma Coast!

Meet Cookie, the Cooks Beach sea monster. Michael Combs recently photographed it.

Cookie looks friendly with that smile, though perhaps a little wooden.

Cooks Beach is a lovely pocket beach at the north end of Gualala, Why wouldn't a sea monster want to hang out there?

Thanks to Michael for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Windy again today with clear skies.

Carolyn Case wrote, "[Two weeks ago], I stopped by Cooks Beach. There were no other visitors, and as I walked towards the water’s edge at the north end, I suddenly heard a barking behind me and saw a large Sea Lion heading toward the water. I think we were both surprised."

"It was an exciting sighting but I was sorry to have disturbed it; it must have been resting among the rocks as I had walked right by without noticing it.” Several others had seen this male California Sea Lion and wondered if he was injured. But CC’s photos show what appears to be a healthy Sea Lion. There is an active colony of male Sea Lions living on Fish Rocks off Anchor Bay.

It's chilly today - the wind is cold. Lots of clouds drifting by with intermittent sunshine...and achingly beautiful!
