I originally presented these photos, more than 140 of them, in late October of last year. It was thrilling to show them on the huge screen at the Gualala Arts Center. So many people told me they couldn't make the October event that I was asked to do a repeat performance. Something new this time: there will be a segment of drone photography showing the beauty of the coastline from a bird's eye perspective.

The Four-eyed Frog will also be there with an array of books on nature and photography.

Several large Rosey Russulas - Russula rosacea - were found by Rozann and  George Grunig on The Sea Ranch this past week. This is not the time of year for these mushrooms to fruit but the late rains must have confused them. They aren't edible. If you tasted a little bit of the cap, it would be hot and you would have to quickly spit it out. But they are beautiful to look at and to photograph. And look! Rozann photographed them on top of the Independent Coast Observer. That's where my Mendonoma Sightings column can be found each and every week. mendonoma.com
