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.
Thanks to Iliana for allowing me to share her photo with you here. To learn more about this magnificent lighthouse, here's the link: http://www.pointarenalighthouse.com/
Marykate Cochran Warner took this photograph north of Gualala on the full moon of July 1st. She wrote, "We all share the same moon."
A vision of loveliness for you today!
Thanks to Marykate for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
The eclipse took place in the early hours of the morning. Paul Kozal got this beautiful photo at the tail end of the eclipse.
There was a full moon to add to the magic. These farm buildings are relics on The Sea Ranch from the time the property was used as a sheep ranch.

We had a full moon last week and skies were clear to enjoy it. Ron LeValley captured the moon in the early morning hours a little before it set.
The day before Ron photographed the high surf, back lit by the sun.
So there you have it - the moon and the influence of the sun!

The highest tides and the lowest tides occur when the moon is full or when it's new. We had a full moon this week and a high tide mid-morning. Rick and I had breakfast at The Lodge at The Sea Ranch followed by a hike out to the bluffs. Huckleberry, our golden retriever, accompanied us on the hike. What we found was a turbulent sea, crashing waves and a feeling of excitement the churning Pacific Ocean brings to those who stop to admire its beauty.
Below the waves have receded for a moment, revealing the rocks just offshore.
And this is a photo looking to the south. It's a bit washed out due to the brilliant sunshine but it shows you the waves crashing up against the bluffs. Imagine what it must sound like to those who live right on the edge.
The mesmerizing Pacific Ocean - I will never tire of its many moods.
My best to you today! Jeanne
