Eric Duff's beautiful photo of the sunset on Oct 21 was taken at Cooks Beach. Isn't it lovely?

Cooks Beach is brought to us by the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy. It's a sweet pocket beach. You can print out a map which shows Cooks Beach and other properties managed by RCLC at their website: https://www.rclc.org/property-map/

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

It's cooler today and rain is predicted overnight. As I write this mid-afternoon, the sun is shining with just a few clouds passing by. The surf is telling the story, though. Huge swells are hitting the coastline, sending white water up in the air. The ocean is really roaring today!

Eric Duff was at Cooks Beach when he photographed this beautiful sunset.

Cooks Beach is just north of the town of Gualala. You can learn more about this wonderful pocket beach at the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy's website at this link: https://www.rclc.org/what-we-do/cooks-beach/ I'm such a fan of RCLC.

Deborah Vanderwoude noticed this unusual cloud recently and said she thought it looked like a bird, which I can see. I also thought it looked like an angel if you looked at it another way.

Thanks to Eric and Deborah for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

We are having a spectacular warm day on the Mendonoma Coast today.

Eric Duff recently photographed the sky at Cooks Beach. He actually capture a  circumhorizontal arc, also sometimes called a fire rainbow, and a halo around the sun.

These are both formed because of ice crystals in the atmosphere. They refract and reflect the light. Very wonderful photo. Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share it with you here.

The fog pulled back and we are having a sunny, mild day on the coast. Much warmer weather for the holiday weekend.

Cooks Beach has become a favorite spot for many of us. Look at the beautiful sunset photo Eric Duff took there recently. A Western Gull nonchalantly walks across the sand.

We have one more storm coming in this afternoon, the forecasters say. Then spring will make its presence known, with warm, sunny days ahead.
