They didn't know what the lights in the sky were very early on Friday January 24. The lights were south of the Mendonoma Coast. But Don Krieger soon discovered what they were. He wrote, “Here's a picture in the moonlight of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket putting 23 spacelink satellites into orbit this morning.”

Janet Pierucci also witnessed this event from her Sea Ranch home. She wrote, "Not sure what phenomenon this is but what an incredible sight.” Janet soon wrote back to tell me about the liftoff from Vandenberg Space Force Base. Janet got a series of photos, but this was was a few minutes later. Interesting to see!

Thanks to Don and Janet for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

More rain today! We've gone over 8 inches since last Friday and we're closing in on 50 inches season to date. After this storm, it is suppose to be dry until mid-week.

Janet Pierucci found this spiderweb adorned with the morning mist - spiderweb jewels.

Jim Corbett wrote, “Down by Anchor Bay beach, I happened to be in the right light this morning to appreciate this beautiful spider’s web that’s connected to a lemon tree and patio cover. It bends to the breezes off the beach and catches goodies along the way; a tiny ecosystem at work.”

The ability to create a web from a substance in their body, and the web then catches their food, is quite amazing. Mother Nature must rate spiders high on her list.

Thanks to Janet and Jim for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

It's sunny and breezy today. Warm temps are predicted for Tuesday through Thursday. Our typical September heatwave. Bonus sightings: Humpback Whales have been seen off the Mendonoma Coast for the past several days!

Paul Brewer photographed a Doe and her two little fawns nursing near his Gualala home.

Janet Pierucci spotted two little Fawns at The Sea Ranch.

As did Connie King though she only photographed the one Fawn with its mother.

And here is Sheri Novak's video of her first sighting of Fawns this spring.

We love these little guys and gals covered in spots, nearly 300 spots on each Fawn!

Thanks to Paul, Janet, Connie and Sheri for allowing me to share their photos - and video - with you here.

Warm weather moved in today, and it's over 80 degrees at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay. Butterflies appeared, always a wonderful sightings.

Janet Pierucci noticed this beautiful sight late one afternoon. She dubbed them Angel Wings.

Larry Riddle surmises these are altocumulus clouds. Or Angel Wings!

There is a high fog on the immediate coast. Temps are mild and there is no wind. A whale spout was seen this morning off Gualala in the kelp beds, probably one of the resident Gray Whales.

We have stormy weather today, so I thought I would share Janet Pierucci's recent storm cloud photo with you today.

Janet asked what I could see in the clouds. I see a giant rabbit - what do you see?

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

It's raining cats and dogs here this afternoon!
