Loch Michie recently photographed the Point Arena Lighthouse and I think his photograph looks like a painting!

Thanks to Loch for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

It's been a beautiful sunny, if cool, day here today. Don't miss Festival of Trees at the Gualala Arts Center. I went today and it's fabulous! Learn more at this link: https://gualalaarts.org/2024/11/2024-festival-of-trees/

Michael Reinhart was out photographing nature when he noticed this Harbor Seal surface near some kelp.

The Harbor Seal seems to be looking right at Mike! Harbor Seals are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast.

Sara Bogard has been studying the Harbor Seals off the Point Arena Lighthouse Peninsula and adjoining Point Arena-Stornetta Lands. She will be giving a presentation entitled “Seals Beside Us” at the Point Arena Lighthouse, September 21st from 4-5pm. That's this Saturday! Cost is $5.00.

Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photo with  you here!

Very foggy close to the bluffs, but sunny up on the ridge. Cool temps, 60's.

I wanted to show you these other two photos of the Northern Lights we had two weeks ago, but first they appeared in the Independent Coast Observer. Paul Kozal's photo  on the right, of the Sea Ranch Chapel and the Northern Lights, graced page one. Just spectacular! The one on the left is a bonus photo for you to see.

Joni Goshorn got a different look, a wonderful look, at the Northern Lights, with the Point Arena Lighthouse in the distance, and the moon on the left.

What a special treat to see the Northern Lights here on the Mendonoma Coast.

Thanks to Joni and Paul for allowing me to share their photos with you here. Visit Paul Kozal's website to see more of his photography at this link: https://www.paulkozal.com/Visit-the-Gallery

It's sunny and breezy here today, highs in the low 70's!

Mike Petrich and Karen Wilkinson were looking for nature sightings near the P'da Hau, aka the Garcia River recently. Mike wrote, “We looked up towards the Point Arena Lighthouse and photographed a Caspian Tern playing with its food in mid-air! I assembled an image from a series of individual pictures while it dropped the fish, and caught it again several times"

I didn't know Caspian Terns would do this - so interesting to learn! Here's a close-up Mike took of the Tern:

Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photos with you here.

Foggy mornings, with some high clouds overhead - it's nice and mild on the Mendonoma Coast today.

Sara Bogard found this yearling Harbor Seal snoozing on the rocks off the Point Arena Lighthouse Peninsula.

This seal looks pretty content and relaxed. Thanks to Sara for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

We are having a lovely, sunny day with very little wind.
