Karen Tucker photographed this ethereal sight - the full, or nearly full, moon shining over Fish Rocks off Anchor Bay.

A beautiful sight for you today. Fish Rocks has an active colony of male California Sea Lions. They obviously have a lot to say to each other as they can be heard barking all day long!

Thanks to Karen for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Sunny and breezy today.

Spring doesn't know...

Paul Thompson photographed the beautiful full moon known at the Snow Moon.

Just before the moon rose, Paul snapped this photo of the moon's light approaching.

Native American tribes call the full moon in February a Snow Moon, as February usually has the heaviest snowfall. Snowfall, however, is a rare occurrence for the temperate Mendonoma coast.

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

February 23rd brought a full moon with passing clouds. Don Spear was out photographing the beautiful sight.

Rozann Grunig also photographed the full moon. Rozann's photo shows a halo, which is often a predictor of rain.

Peter Reimuller sent in a photo of a recent halo around the moon.

These halos were predicting rain! We've had lots of it. Since March 1, we have received 13.5 inches at our home in Anchor Bay, and our  year to date is 50.80 inches. Today we have a break from the storms, a break that should last until the weekend. After so much rain, the sun feels awfully good.

Thanks to Don, Rozann, and Peter for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

The full moon shone so brightly on Christmas. The Point Arena Lighthouse had a full moon tour the night before and Iliana Sanchez captured the moment. There won’t be another December 25th full moon until 2034.
