If conditions are perfect, you might be fortunate to see a fogbow, also called a white rainbow. Peggy Berryhill recently saw one form at Cooks Beach.
You look for fogbows in the morning hours. The fog should be about bluff high. It takes the morning sun to create one. Isn't it lovely?
Thanks to Peggy for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
We have had some beautiful sunsets over the past several days and one green flash that Rick and I saw. It was quick but glowed a beautiful emerald-green. Karen Tracy recently photographed a sunset at Cook's Beach, the very popular public access just north of Gualala.
To learn more about our new public access spots, here is the link to the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy: http://www.rc-lc.org/ The fine people at RCLC are doing such wonderful work to bring us access to these beautiful places where we can see a sunset like this one.
Thanks to Karen for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Cook's Beach is just north of the town of Gualala. It is a lovely pocket beach and a perfect place to watch the sunset. Diane Grenkow recently photographed a sunset there.
And Joel Crockett photographed this special place during the day.
The Redwood Coast Land Conservancy played a big part in opening up this beautiful public access spot. To learn more about Cook's Beach, Hearn Gulch and the Gualala Bluff Trail, here is their website: http://www.rc-lc.org/
And below is a photo of the glistening Pacific Ocean, sparkling as if it were sprinkled with diamonds.
Peggy Berryhill enjoys exploring Cook's Beach at very low tides and she sees amazing things. Recently she saw an Ochre Sea Star eating a Dungeness Crab.
She also saw a juvenile Dungeness Crab.
Too small, perhaps, to capture the attention of a hungry Sea Star.
