Storms to our north or south may very well bring clouds to the Mendonoma Coast this time of year. And when they do, a beautiful sunset might be seen. Paul Brewer recently photographed this sunset, which is reflected in the Pacific Ocean. Three Western Gulls fly over the kelp beds. Yes, the kelp forests have recovered and are back, for which we are thankful.

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photo with  you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/

It's been cool and foggy all day. And we have a chance of some wet stuff - RAIN! - tomorrow, Saturday.

Kathy Grace had this Pale Swallowtail land on a blooming dahlia, a beautiful sight to behold.

And Paul Brewer photographed a Painted Lady feeding on a flower in his Gualala garden.

I love butterflies and I will stop what I'm doing to watch them as they travel from flower to flower.

It's a beach day on the Mendonoma Coast! The fog pulled back and if you get a little bit away from the coastline, it's hot! There are beautiful clouds in the sky today, which might bring us a spectacular sunset. Yes, sunset season looks to be here.

Young Brown Pelicans, born earlier this year to our south, are now flying northward. They have brown heads and white tummies. The adults have white heads and darker tummies. Paul Brewer recently photographed this juvenile Brown Pelican.

Paul also photographed this group of Brown Pelicans in the fog - yes, it's been foggy the past couple of days!

Brown Pelicans are easier to photograph in flight because they have slow wing beats and they glide in between. They fly over or close to the bluffs, giving us wonderful sightings of them this time of year. Yay, Brown Pelicans!

Drippy fog this morning and dazzling sunshine this afternoon.

Shari Goforth-Eby saw a Gray Whale mother and calf swim northward, passing by Gualala Point Beach recently. She photographed the calf.

Note the stubby head of the young whale. Also, the calf has no barnacles. Here's a photo of an adult Gray Whale, taken by Paul Brewer for comparison.

Scott Mercer tells me the lagoons off Baja have emptied of Gray Whales, so the mother/calf pairs are on the move northward. We've had so much wind, which whips up the ocean and makes it nearly impossible to see whale spouts, that it's been difficult to spot them. The breeze died down today, so we'll be watching the ocean!

No wind, and the temperature dropped twenty degrees from the very warm weather we had yesterday. Just a gentle, cooling breeze off the ocean!

Monday's sunrise was so beautiful and Paul Brewer was ready to photograph it so we could all see it.

Now that's a nice way to start your day!

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photo with you here. Paul's photographs are for sale through Gualala Arts' gallery, the Dolphin Gallery, which has a new home in Cypress Village in Gualala.

A breezy, sun-splashed day, with lots of people arriving for the holiday. And the paving/striping of Highway One from the Gualala Bridge to Point Arena is finally, beautifully done. Hooray!
