Bettye Winters photographed a recent spectacular sunset over Manchester Beach.
In the far distance, where the land juts out, is where you would find the beautiful Point Arena Lighthouse.
I love how the pastel colors of the sunset are reflected in the Pacific Ocean. Just lovely...
Thanks to Bettye for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Anne Mary Schaefer noticed a River Otter at Manchester Beach.
The River Otter was harassing two birds that were identified as juvenile Black-crowned Night-herons, something you rarely get to see.
The Night-herons safely flew away.
Thanks to Anne Mary for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
Irene Leidner took this photo from an airplane above Manchester Beach. Isn't it lovely?
Manchester Beach is huge - there are five miles of shoreline. It is in Manchester State Park and you can learn more about it at this website: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=437.
Here is another photo of the waves at Manchester Beach, taken by Beth Petit. This is a place where you might find something washed up on the beach from halfway around the world.
Thanks to Irene and Beth for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Bettye Winters photographed this big breaker off Manchester Beach last week.
Margaret Lindgren joined in the fun too.
Can you almost hear the sound of this wave hitting the rocks?
