I thought  you might enjoy this holiday wreath made up of Fly Amanita mushrooms, Amanita muscaria.

A lovely way to celebrate the holiday season!

We had a pretty strong storm overnight last night that brought 1.4 inches of rain. We sailed past 30 inches of rain so far this season, more than we had all of last season. Keep it coming, Mother Nature!

Two talented coast photographers were out in the wee hours of the night, photographing the Super Flower Blood Moon of May 26, 2021. First, here is Paul Kozal's lovely photo with the moon shining on the Pacific Ocean.

Rozanne Rapozo was up all night - she told me "sleep is overrated!" She put together this series of photos to show us the progression of the eclipse. Amazing!

I took a photo at dawn just minutes before the moon set.

The fog moved in this morning, though I can see blue skies up on the ridge. Micro climates!

Paul Kozal chose the Sea Ranch Chapel as the location to photograph the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter. He got this lovely photo of the event that hadn't been seen since the Middle Ages.

People started calling the conjunction the Christmas Star. It was amazing to see the two planets so close together, as least from our perspective.

We are graced with a sunny winter day today.

Carol Kozal created this beautiful wreath from Fly Amanitas and her husband, Paul Kozal, photographed it.

It looks like forest fairies live in the opening in this Redwood Tree. The Fly Amanita Christmas wreath is a beautiful addition.

Thanks to Carol and Paul for allowing me to share this creation with you here.

Merry Christmas! We are having Christmas rain, a warm rain with some strong gusts. We have had over an inch of the wet stuff so far.

Paul Kozal was out late at night making magic with his photography. You can see a meteor on the right, the iconic Lighthouse we all love, and the Milky Way splashed across the night sky. So lovely.

It's pretty darn warm at our place today. We melt when the temps get near 90 degrees. It was that hot yesterday but today has a cooling breeze. Come on, breeze! oh, we had quite a lightning show early this morning. I hope to show you some photos of that event soon.
