Allen Vinson was photographing some of the sights at The Sea Ranch recently. He saw a beautiful wave with rooster tails - the top water being blown off.

The sun was just coming up behind the trees, creating beautiful sunbeams.

And Allen found one of the Mendonoma coast's many waterfall.

Thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his photos with you  here. If you'd like to see more of Allen's nature photography, here is a link: http://allenvinson.smugmug.com/

Waterfalls should be full for this weekend after today's rain. We received a solid inch of the wet stuff.

It's been wild here on the coast recently. Big, beautiful waves have been rolling in. Ron LeValley photographed one powerful wave with a lot of color in it.

The mist on the top of the wave is sometimes called a "rooster tail."

We have another storm coming in on Tuesday. Yes, El Nino weather is here.

High surf advisory is what we've been hearing lately. Waves have been pounding the Mendonoma Coast. It's awesome to see the power of the Pacific Ocean. Carolyn André recently photographed the big waves off of The Sea Ranch.

When mist rises from the top of waves we call them rooster tails.

Here's a particularly good rooster tail.

And the waves continue their relentless pounding of the bluffs on The Sea Ranch.

With the February rains, the bluffs have greened up, a very welcome sight after our dry January.

What a wild day on the beautiful Mendonoma Coast! Thanks to Carolyn for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
