It's hard to get a photo of the green flash as sunset. I should know - I've been trying for years. Robert Scarola hit the jackpot when he photographed a recent green flash.

They don't happen very often but when they do your heart beats a little faster and it is hard to stop smiling. It is Mother Nature at one of her flashier moments. Thanks to Robert for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Once again we have a beautiful spring-like day here on the Mendonoma Coast. But there are changes in our forecast, with a pretty good rainstorm headed our way early next week. Bring on the rain!

Conditions were perfect for a green flash at sunset Monday, Jan. 14th. Craig Tooley set up his camera and look what he got.

Beautiful! The sunsets the past several nights have been shades of orange. And when you can add the elusive green flash, you have to say that life is good.

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's photography, here's his website: http://ruffimage.com/

One of the secrets of the Mendonoma Coast is the beautiful weather we usually have in between storms. Inland may be covered in dense fog while we bask in sunshine. Storms bring - or leave - magnificent sunsets. Allen Vinson photographed Thursday's sunset, which was sandwiched in between two storms.

Rick and I always try to watch the sunset. If the horizon is clear there is a chance for a green flash. It doesn't happen often but when it does it is thrilling. To see a photo of a green flash taken here on the Coast by Allen, here is the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/10/04/sundays-green-flash-as-photographed-by-allen-vinson/

My thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his beautiful sunset photo with you here.

Allen Vinson was watching the sunset Sunday on the bluffs at Walk On Beach on The Sea Ranch. He too caught magic and photographed the green flash.

 Below Allen cropped his photo so you could see the green flash close-up.

Many thanks to Allen  - and his new Nikon D600 - for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Patty Buechner was at Gualala Point Regional Park watching the sunset. She caught magic when she photographed the green flash.

We are having our usual autumn heat wave and that means the fog has disappeared, leaving a clear horizon. That's the recipe for a possible green flash. Not a myth, but reality - the elusive green flash is always a treat to see.

Thanks to Patty for allowing me to share her photo with you here. I have another photo of Sunday's green flash to show you tomorrow. You are bound to be amazed!
