Young Fawns are being seen, proving that the birthing season of the Black-tailed Deer lasts a long time. The first Fawns usually appear around Mother's Day in early May. Jon Loveless saw this small family recently at The Sea Ranch.

Larain Matheson had a sighting of a mother Doe and her Fawn north of Gualala.

It's a good reminder to slow down while driving. Watch for a Doe crossing the road, and wait to see if a Fawn, or two or even three, might be following.

Thanks to Jon and Larain for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Fog over the ocean, but sunny at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay. Breezy too, with temps in the 70's. Huckleberries are beginning to ripen up!

This handsome Bobcat was hunting for rodents in the meadows near Larain Matheson's home.

The cat with the tufted ears and bobbed tail looks pretty healthy! And everyone knows there are plenty of gophers and other rodents along the coast.

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

We had a vigorous rainstorm today. A little over a half inch in a short time. The Pacific Ocean is roaring!

Larain Matheson stopped on a trip down the coast to photograph this lovely sight through her windshield. You can see the Russian River entering the Pacific Ocean. And the headlands are draped in fog.

Highway One, with it's curves and cliffs, can be scary for some to drive. Many of us who live on the Mendonoma coast just resolve to take our time and enjoy the beautiful vistas.

This afternoon we are getting a little rain. As it hasn't rained in February before today, we are grateful for any wet stuff Mother Nature gives.

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

Occasionally two Gray Whales can be seen mating off our coast. Larain Matheson was on a whale watching trip out of Fort Bragg. The two whales, assisted by one other whale, were mating quite close to the boat Larain was on.

Larain said it was quite rough on the ocean but she was thrilled to see this event.

Ralph and Larain Matheson saw four whales spout south of Cook’s Beach just before New Years.  Larain said, "It looked like a fountain that kept spouting – quite a show.” Ralph’s photo shows you the bushy spout of a Gray Whale. If you could see it straight on, you would see it is heart-shaped.


 And below is a photo of the glistening Pacific Ocean, sparkling as if it were sprinkled with diamonds.

Thanks to Ralph for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
