We've seen several leucistic - nearly or partially white - birds this spring. Gary Larson found another one at his  bird feeder in Gualala. Diane Hichwa identified it as an American Goldfinch. Even the beak of this bird appears lighter.

Here is a photo of a normal-colored Goldfinch, taken by Ron Bolander this past week.

Quite a difference between the two birds!

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

It's a beautiful, breezy, sunny spring day here today. And it is supposed to be warmer tomorrow.

Earlier this month Sarah Woods photographed a rainbow in a most unique and unusual way, rainbow haloed sunbeams streaming through the Redwoods.

She wrote, “I took these photos right outside our home on Redwood Way in Gualala. I was changing out of wet clothes from a walk with my husband and saw the sunbeams. Little did I know I would see a rainbow halo surrounding them. It was truly a miraculous sighting.”

I've never seen anything quite like this! Thanks to Sarah for allowing me to share her photos with  you here.

It's cool and cloudy today, but there is no wind. This weekend could be just about perfect, weather-wise.

Jon and Susan Sandoval heard a noise on their deck in Gualala about 8:30 pm. They found this female, adult Mountain Lion staring back at them.

Doesn't she look healthy and strong? It's a mystery why she was on the Sandoval's deck because they do not have house pets or animals such as chickens to attract her. Amazing! Maybe she was following the scent of a Deer, her favorite prey.

Thanks to Susan for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Lots of cooling, moist fog on the immediate coast today, keeping temperatures in the 60's - nice!

I love this photo Paul Brewer took at his Gualala home. The Fawn was standing facing the sunset when Paul got this wonderful photo.

Isn't it lovely?! Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/

Fog rolled in last night and is covering the immediate coast. It's sunny at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay, 1/2 mile back from the Pacific Ocean. Micro climates!

Paul Brewer photographed the sunrise off his Gualala home, showing some of the Douglas Iris in bloom on the bluff.

And Grace O'Malley photographed the sunset  in Timber Cove. Just looks at those luscious colors!

Good morning and good night!

Today is cloudy and chilly, with a chance of some of that wet stuff we've been missing so much.
