Remi Alexander noticed this little green Sierran Treefrog nestled in a succulent.
These treefrogs eat spiders, flies, ants, and other insects. This little green frog looks like he/she is waiting for something tasty to appear.
Thanks to Remi for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Heavy fog this morning has given way to bright sunshine this afternoon.
Matsutakes, a prized edible mushroom, are up. Alex Kun found a nice haul on the Sonoma coast.
Rick and I found some too, near our place in Anchor Bay. They come up in the same place, year after year. They grow in sandy soil and they smell like cinnamon.
King Boletes, Boletus edulis, another choice edible, are also still appearing. Remi Alexander photographed Patrick Hillscan with two nice mushrooms.
This morning Rick and I found two big Boletes growing on our land. It's rather puzzling with the dry, low humidity weather we've been having. We did receive over nine inches of rain in November, and that was apparently enough for the 'shrooms!
Cece Case photographed two beautiful Coral mushrooms.
Some Coral mushrooms are edible, but I just like to enjoy their beauty where they grow.With more rain, we should be seeing many more of these intricate fungi in the forest. No rain is predicted until the 20th.
Thanks to Alex, Remi and Cece for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Autumn sunsets on the Mendonoma Coast can be spectacular. And they often bring the chance for a green flash. Remi Alexander got this beautiful photo on Saturday as the sun was about to set. The sun created a golden staircase across the Pacific Ocean.
