Douglas Irises, also called wild irises, are blooming in abundance this year. Gary Levenson-Palmer photographed this lovely sight.
Wildflowers are beautiful now. Yesterday's rain - we got nearly an inch at our place in Anchor Bay - freshened everything up. Many CA Poppies are blooming too, adding to the fun.
Thanks to Gary for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
When storms are headed our way, the Pacific Ocean becomes more active and big waves crash against sandy beaches and rocky bluffs. Sometimes the ocean mist will travel all the way up the bluffs and over Highway One. Gary Levenson-Palmer photographed the mist at Manchester Beach.

Gary Levenson-Palmer recently photographed a beautiful sunset.
Doesn't it relax you just to see it?
We have a big holiday weekend coming up. I am told most places to stay are booked up. If you are on the coast, Craig Tooley and I will be at the Four-Eyed Frog Bookstore, http://www.foureyedfrog.com/, Saturday May 23, from 2 to 4 pm signing our book, Mendonoma Sightings Throughout The Year. Stop by and say hello!
Thanks to Gary for allowing me to share this photo with you here.
Gary Levenson-Palmer noticed a different look to the ocean. There was a layer of green out near the horizon, an unusual sighting.
We had a sunny, warm day today. It's hard to believe we might have a storm tomorrow, Christmas Eve, as there isn't a cloud in sight!
Thanks to Gary for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
Before the storm arrived, there were rainbows this morning. Now that's a nice way to start the day!
Gary Levenson-Palmer recently photographed several beautiful rainbows. The first shows a rare fire rainbow, a horizontal rainbow.
Rainbow days are one of the privileges of being on the Mendonoma Coast.
