Castle Rock sits off the north end of Gualala. Richard Hansen has a ringside seat to view the action as waves first hit a smaller rock in front of it. Richard recently photographed this interesting sea stack.
Here's one of my favorite photos taken a few years ago. Richard captured a "monster" wave seemingly attacking - or reaching out to hug - Castle Rock.
Thanks to Richard for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
We have had a few sprinkles, but not much to speak of. However the clouds have brought some beautiful sunsets. Here's last night's sunset taken by Richard Hansen in Gualala.
And day is done...
Thanks to Richard for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Paul Brewer incorporated the clock tower in the Gualala's Cypress Center into his photo of the eclipse, thereby showing you the time he took the photo.
This photo is starring on the front page of last week's Independent Coast Observer.
Then Paul photographed the setting moon, which was a super moon, in the early hours of September 28. Nice to see it back to its usual color.
Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share these stunning photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/
Tom Eckles saw the first Monarch Butterflies in his garden in Gualala.
The fall migration is just beginning. Journey North is a citizen science project where you can report your own sightings of Monarchs and other creatures. Here is their website: http://www.learner.org/jnorth/

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!
