We are receiving a lot of rain today. This morning there was 1.6 inches in our rain gauge, 15.50 inches season to date. And it's raining this afternoon as I type this. During a previous storm, Grace O'Malley photographed the beautiful sight of an approaching storm.

Grace also photographed storm clouds approaching the mouth of the Russian River at Jenner.

There are mushrooms popping up in many places. Matsutakes are still appearing. Here I am a few days ago with a nice haul of these choice, edible mushrooms. Rozann Grunig took the photo.

Thanks to Grace and Rozann for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Rain, intermittent sunshine, gusts of wind...it's a wait-five-minutes kind of day!

To see a green flash is said to bring you good luck. May seeing Shari Goforth-Eby's photo of a recent green flash do just that!

A basket full of of wonderfully edible Golden Chanterelles, as found and photographed by Alex Kun, is the perfect addition to a holiday meal.

And while we've had sunny, dry weather for some days now, we long for more rain. Here's rain showers over the Pacific Ocean as photographed by Grace O'Malley.

You can see we do have much to be thankful for!

Thanks to Shari, Alex and Grace for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Sunny and mild today!

On Sunday May 8th, Jeff Goll was at MacKerricher State Park during the most recent rains. He got this beautiful and unusual photo of a Western Gull in flight. Jeff calls this a hooded gull.

He then spotted a Western Gull - perhaps the same Gull? - nab a Shrimp for its meal.

Rain showers coming in!

Followed by a rainbow.

MacKerricher State Park  is located three miles north of Fort Bragg in Mendocino County. It has nine miles of coastline to explore. You can learn more about this wonderful park at this link: https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=436

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

It's sunny, but there is fog hovering over the ocean, which keeps the temperature nice and cool. It's springtime breezy too!
