Rick and Teresa Denniston took a walk at Gualala Point Regional Park. The wave were crashing quite dramatically.
We are waiting for a big storm to hit. Residents have stocked up on food and firewood, just in case. Winds of 40 miles an hour are predicted and that can mean power outages. We need the rain so we say, "Bring it on, Mother Nature!"
Thanks to Rick and Teresa for allowing me to share their photo with you here.
Best of Show at the recent Gualala River Sightings event was given to Rick Denniston's Deer reflected in the Gualala River. You can see raindrops in the river too.
We haven't seen any Gray Whales for the past several weeks. We hope to see the first mothers with calves soon. Rick Denniston photographed one spyhopping just off his vacation home, Serendipity, in Gualala.
Magnificent! Thanks to Rick for allowing me to share his photo with you here. Serendipity is available for vacation rental. I can attest to the wonderful view it has. Here's the link to learn more: http://www.serendipityview.com/
Wendy Bailey was driving up Highway One when she pulled over to watch and photograph the sunset. She was at Stillwater Cove, hoping for a green flash. She didn't get a green flash but she did capture this lovely sunset.
There is a Sonoma County park at Stillwater Cove. Here is the link if you'd like to learn more about it: http://www.sonoma-county.org/parks/pk_stwtr.htm
And if you'd like to see Frank Vaskelis' photo of a green flash shared on this site, here is the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2011/04/28/the-green-flash-its-not-a-myth/
Wendy didn't see a green flash but Rick Denniston reported seeing a beautiful, two minute long green flash that night from his home in Gualala. Location, location, location!
