Douglas Iris are in bloom, as photograph by Rozann Grunig.

And Hound's Tongue, such a bright blue, is also blooming. Jill Silliphant photographed a Buckeye Butterfly feeding on one.

And Baby Blue Eyes are in glorious bloom on bluffs. Bonnie Ely photographed these.

Today we are having April Showers on this Easter Sunday. And you know the saying - April showers bring May flowers!

Thanks to Bonnie, Jill and Rozann for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Rozann Grunig wrote, “On Christmas – and Hanukkah – morning, I awoke to see this rainbow from a north-facing window. It wasn’t raining, but the sunrise was full of pinks and oranges. It lasted perhaps 20 second, then was gone.

“I showed my photo to George’s cousin, a former military pilot. He said this is virga, which is rain, ice or mist in the clouds that evaporates before hitting the ground. It causes streaks of light as the sun refracts light through the moisture.”

Rozann Grunig went foraging on Friday and she found the first reported Chanterelle of the season. She also found a Queen Bolete and several King Boletes, a nice bounty of edibles.

Rozann Grunig took this sunset photo from her home at The Sea Ranch, and it sure looks like a beautiful golden fan. The colors of the sky and the ocean are amazing too.

Rozann Grunig found this Crab Spider in her rain gauge. She has a very large egg sac. Rozann is going to keep watch of this spider and her eggs.
