Eric Kritz took this magnificent photo from the Gualala ridge recently. What fabulous colors in the sky!
And Donald Hess took this photo of the Gualala River with the Pacific Ocean in the back. Just lovely.
And, Paul Brewer struck magic, as he is wont to do, with this sunset.
Thanks to Eric, Donald and Paul for allowing me to share these beauties with you here.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
After one of our recent storms, Wendy Bailey found this branch down in her garden. It's beautifully decorated with Lichens and Turkey Tails.
Belly Button Hedgehogs are up, as are Winter Chanterelles. I've had a report that Sweet Tooth Hedgehogs are appearing too. And the first Black Trumpets. Here is a photo by Eric Kritz taken a few years ago of my friend, Rachel Kritz, holding a Sweet Tooth Hedgehog, a delicious edible mushroom.
And here Rick shows you the difference between a huge Sweettooth and the smaller Belly Buttons.
Thanks to Wendy and Eric for allowing me to share their photos with you here. Happy foraging!
