I wanted to show you these other two photos of the Northern Lights we had two weeks ago, but first they appeared in the Independent Coast Observer. Paul Kozal's photo  on the right, of the Sea Ranch Chapel and the Northern Lights, graced page one. Just spectacular! The one on the left is a bonus photo for you to see.

Joni Goshorn got a different look, a wonderful look, at the Northern Lights, with the Point Arena Lighthouse in the distance, and the moon on the left.

What a special treat to see the Northern Lights here on the Mendonoma Coast.

Thanks to Joni and Paul for allowing me to share their photos with you here. Visit Paul Kozal's website to see more of his photography at this link: https://www.paulkozal.com/Visit-the-Gallery

It's sunny and breezy here today, highs in the low 70's!

The proliferation of trail cameras gives us insight into our natural world. Carl Romick wrote, “Our trail cam picked up this photo last Thursday at 9:50 am. The path is above Galloway Creek off Schooner Gulch Road, about three quarters of a mile from the coast.”

It’s striking that this Cougar was seen mid-morning. They are supposed to be nocturnal, but we have had several recent sightings in the daylight hours.

Joni Goshorn's trail cam captured a video of a Mountain Lion near Point Arena. It's quite misty and you can see the time is 12:25 am on June 23.

It's a foggy day here today with temps in the low 60s. It's always nice when Mother Nature helps to water our gardens with nice, moist fog!

At low tide the ocean sometimes reveals one of the exotic creatures that lives within. Jodi Goshorn photographed a Nudibranch, a sea mollusk that sheds its shell after its larval stage. They are commonly called Sea Slugs and they are uncommonly beautiful.

A healthy Coyote has been seen recently on The Sea Ranch. Joni Goshorn took this photo of the handsome animal in November.

Their scientific name is Canis latrans, which means barking dog in Latin.Their favorite food is small mammals. The Sea Ranch has plenty of gophers to feed the resident Bobcats and this Coyote.

Joni Goshorn was at the pullout at Schooner Gulch when she took this photograph of Bowling Ball Beach.

At low tide this is one of the best places to look for shells and other treasures of the sea.

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