Roswitha and Joel Crockett have the privilege of watching a pair of Fawn twins in their meadow. What a great way to start the day!
Where the grass is taller, Roswitha says the only way they can see the Fawns is when they jump.
Thanks to Roswitha for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
We had another 1.75 inches of rain overnight...just amazing for this time of year.
Craig Tooley was out between storms, photographing streams filled with abundant water, a wonderful sight after several years of subpar rain.
Here is a tributary of the Gualala River. I love the mossy rocks.
The ground is so saturated, it squishes when you walk on it. And now we have a chance to dry out. This coming weekend should be stellar here on the Mendonoma coast!
Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is his website: www.ruffimage.com
Grace O'Malley photographed this Song Sparrow perched on a rock, singing.
We had warm, dry weather for December. Perhaps this sparrow thought it was spring and time to sing for a mate! He will be hunkered down today as we have some much needed rain.
These sparrows have a sweet call, which you can listen to at this site: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Song_Sparrow/sounds
Thanks to Grace for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
...is it raining again?
Karen Chu, a guest at the Preserve, took this cute photo. We do have a lot of rain in our forecast, starting with light rain today. Here is what the Giraffes much prefer.
Judy Mello photographed them on a perfect sunny day in Point Arena.

It doesn't happen very often. Usually we see rainbows in the morning out over the ocean, but when conditions are perfect, we get a rainbow in the late afternoon. Jan Jewell photographed part of Sunday's double rainbow.
And then Jan turned around and photographed the setting sun.
Just beautiful! The soaking rain we received over the weekend was very welcome. We received 3.65 inches at our house in Anchor Bay, a wonderful early autumn gift.
Thanks to Jan for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
