A Ling Cod watches over her eggs and protects them from predators. So how did these eggs come to be washed up on a beach? Marilyn Green photographed them, and a Gull that was feasting on them.
Above is a close up photo of the eggs.
Thanks to Marilyn for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
Peter Cracknell photographed a Brown Pelican recently. Its white head tells you it is an adult. Juveniles have brown heads. They are migrating south along the coast now.
Rain is hitting the coast today and we are grateful for all we receive. The ocean is making itself heard too with its crashing waves. Carolyn André photographed these waves coming in near Jenner several days ago. The black dots on the right are surfers.
Two more storms are lined up and we say, "Bring it on, Mother Nature!"
Thanks to Peter and Carolyn for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Storms to our north are bringing big waves to the Mendonoma Coast. Surfers are enjoying them, that's for sure! I love to hear the waves crashing on the off-shore rocks, beaches and bluffs. Even though I am a half mile back from the Pacific Ocean, the sound carries easily.
John Sperry captured this photo in the Timber Cove area of Sonoma County. He entitled it thusly: "Sea Gods are angry. Gull maintains its grace." Can you spot the lone Gull in John's photo? Many thanks to John for allowing me to share his photo here.
