Dragonflies, fondly called little helicopters, have been seen. Jack Dupre photographed a Cardinal Meadowhawk recently. The dragonfly seemed to be attracted to an artificial candle at Jack's place.

I love dragonflies and damselflies. And I will be sharing more photos of them soon. Thanks to Jack for allowing me to share his photo with  you here.

It's a stunning day on the Mendonoma Coast today. There are lots of visitors here for the holiday weekend. As I crossed the Gualala Bridge this morning, I saw many kayaks in the Gualala River, a happy sight.
