This is the beautiful sight Gary Levenson-Palmer saw in Irish Beach - a dramatic sunset. It looks rather like a painting!

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

Sunny and warmer today, and the breezes picked up this afternoon. Many Humpback Whales are being seen off our coast. Here's a report from Friday by Scott and Tree Mercer of the Mendonoma Whale and Seal Study:

Friday August 25,2023. Point Arena Peninsula and Saunders Reef.
Foggy, overcast morning but with 4 plus miles of visibility.
NW 8,
Bright sun by noon.
23 humpbacks stretched from the California Coastal Monument to NNW of the Lighthouse.
Lots of breaching, some chin slams, flipper slaps.
None seen at Saunders Reef.
Also
1 Northern harrier
Unknown oyster catchers
hundreds of pelicans both southbound in groups up to 30. Many other pelicans circling and diving for food over the humpbacks.
2 osprey.

Gary Levenson-Palmer captured this beautiful sight.

Lots of white water, and perhaps some sea foam. Thanks to Gary for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Still many power outages but we've had a break from the rain today. More raining beginning tonight. Wow!

I love this photo, which was taken by Gary Levenson-Palmer. A hummingbird, probably an Anna's, is silhouetted against the sunset.

A nice way to end one's day, don't you agree? Thanks to Gary for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

The morning clouds have disappeared and this afternoon is filled with bright sunshine. Early this morning I heard the sound of large waves hitting the shoreline. Also heard were the CA Sea Lions barking on Fish Rocks (near Anchor Bay) and the lovely calls of two Hermit Thrushes. I hope you are hearing loveliness where you are too.

Gary Levenson-Palmer photographed this beautiful sunset before a rather vigorous storm arrived today. It's amazing how many colors are in this magnificent scene, which was seen off of Irish Beach.

Nancy Trissel photographed this sunrise a few days ago from her home north of Gualala. Sunbeams piercing the clouds makes a beautiful sighting.

Thanks to Gary and Nancy for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

We did have some heavy rain today, which was rather a surprise. Sunday is suppose to bring a big storm. We never complain about getting rain, though. It's a blessing.

Gary Levenson-Palmer captured this beautiful photo near Irish Beach this morning. You can also see the Pacific Ocean is roiled up, and - wow - is it loud today.

Carolyn Andre photographed a rainbow on The Sea Ranch.

And so did Jon Loveless.

I also want to show you what I saw from my house in Anchor Bay just after dawn this morning. Quite a storm cloud!

I love the cloud shows that often appear after a storm. We got another inch of rain last night and the storm door is open. Thank you, Mother Nature.

And thanks to Gary, Carolyn and Jon for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
