Last Saturday Point Arena held their fireworks show and the weather couldn't  have been better. The fog was AWOL and there was the slightest of breezes. Paul Kozal set up on the Point Arena-Stornetta Lands to get these great photos.

I do think it's time - past time, actually - to replace fireworks with laser light show or a drone show. But I can't deny the beauty of the fireworks last weekend at Point Arena.

Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's photography, here is a link to his website: https://www.paulkozal.com/ And you can visit his gallery in Gualala, Studio 391, at the Cypress Center.

It's sunny and breezy again today. Warmer weather is predicted beginning Tuesday. Beach weather, anyone?

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.
