Robert and Nancy Scarola were fortunate to have several fawns born at their Sea Ranch property. Here is a recent photo of two fawns that were born earlier this year. They have lost their spots. They also seem to be posing just for Robert.
Below is a photo of these two fawns just after they were born. They love to play with each other.
Black-tailed Deer are a wonderful part of the landscape that is the Mendonoma Coast.
Thanks to Robert for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
A few weeks ago the Moon and Venus were side by side in the sky. I took these photos from our deck in Anchor Bay. A lone fishing boat was still plying the waters.
A peaceful, beautiful moment in time here on the Mendonoma Coast.
Jinx McCombs was surprised to find this little Western Brush Rabbit in a flower pot on her deck.
We have two types of rabbits on the Mendonoma Coast - these little "bunny" rabbits, Brush Rabbits, and the larger Jackrabbit.
Thanks to Jinx for allowing me to share her cute photo with you here.
I can't resist sharing one last photo by Kathy Bishop of a cute Gray Fox Kit lounging in the sun.
This little fox is exemplifying the Sea Ranch motto of living lightly on the land.
We are having a heat wave on the Mendonoma Coast. With no fog on the horizon there was a beautiful green flash last night a sunset. Tonight should be another great chance to see this phenomenon.
To see a photo of a green flash, here's the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/02/07/the-green-flash-was-photographed-by-richard-kuehn/
Thanks to Kathy for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Kathy Bishop photographed a family of three Gray Fox Kits recently. In this photo it looks as if the young fox is smiling.
And below is another one of the kits, looking as if it just heard or saw something of interest.
Gray Foxes are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast. They are great rodent hunters and especially love Gophers.
Thanks to Kathy for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
