When the sunrise in the east is reflected in clouds and the ocean, it can be amazing. That's what happened this morning. It doesn't last long, just a few minutes. Here's a photo taken from our deck in Anchor Bay. Notice that the ocean is glowing pink!

Richard Hansen took this one from his home in Gualala, which overlooks Castle Rock.

And Rich Kuehn photographed this morning's sunrise from his home on The Sea Ranch.

What a beautiful sunrise, a gift from Mother Nature! Thanks to Richard and Rich for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

For the past four days the Pacific Ocean has been calm with no whitecaps. That has allowed many to see the vanguard of the southward migration of Gray Whales.

Yesterday this young Gray Whale, called a subadult, was seen just off Gualala Point Island. Richard Kuehn got this photo.

On Thursday, Dec. 11th Gray Whales, Dolphins, Sea Lions and Gulls were feasting on what we think was a school of anchovies. All this action took place off The Sea Ranch. On Wednesday a pod of Gray Whales was seen off the Point Arena Lighthouse. They are on the move, headed for Baja California where the pregnant females will give birth in the weeks and months to come.

On a bluff by the Timber Cove Inn stands this beautiful statue dedicated to peace, the Peace Obelisk. Richard Kuehn took this photo earlier this week.

It took seven years to build and Bufano died soon afterwards. It is also called "Madonna of Peace" and "The Expanding Universe." It is easy to see glimpses of this striking statue as you travel along Highway One. You can also park in the gravel parking area north of the Inn. There is a path that leads to the Obelisk.

Timber Cove Inn has a restaurant open to the public. Rich had stopped to have lunch the day he took this photograph. To learn more about the Inn, here is their website: http://www.timbercoveinn.com/

It's not easy to photograph the green flash - at least for me! But Rich Kuehn has done it again.

To see a green flash at sunset is always an exciting event. There were several green flashes this past week. It's considered good luck in some cultures to see one. May this photo bring all who see it the best of luck!

Though Rich Kuehn took these photos off the coast of Monterey, Humpbacks occasionally are seen off the Mendonoma Coast in summer and autumn. I thought his photo was so beautiful and asked if I could share it here. With the spout showing a rainbow, the Gulls and the blue Pacific Ocean, it is an amazing photo.
