Last week Shari Goforth was at the Point Arena Pier when she took this photo of the impending sunset.

Shari said she loved how the color of the sunset reflected on the cliffs. Me too!

And I took this sunrise photo three days ago, Dec. 20.

I gasped out loud when I saw this. Look at the ocean tinted in pinks and yellows from the fleeting sunrise.

Some beauty for  you today! Thanks to Shari for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Clear this morning after yesterday's 0.87 inches of rain. Rainy this afternoon!

Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS  was a treat to see. Many coast residents photographed the sight. Shari Goforth took this photo.

You can see a very faint anti-tail. I read that the anti-tail is sometimes said to be an optical illusion, because it appears in the opposite direction of the comet’s dust tail. But it is a real phenomenon, visible only when Earth is crossing the comet’s orbital plane, which occurred Oct. 13 – 15.

Tim Daley also photographed the comet, from The Sea Ranch.

And Kathleen Chasey photographed it north of Anchor Bay.

Thanks to Shari, Tim and Kathleen for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

We are having a mild autumn day today with just a gentle breeze.

Shari Goforth noticed this female Anna's Hummingbird feeding in a cloud of nasturtiums.

Thanks to Shari for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

It's a lovely autumn day here on the Mendonoma Coast. The 0.54 inches of rain received on Saturday, Oct. 12, helped fill up the ponds in seasonal creeks. Lots of tree needles down on forest paths, which smell wonderful in the dampness. It's sunny and breezy, with temps in the mid 70's.

Shari Goforth photographed this Western Bluebird leaving a very hungry chick behind. Hopefully the parent quickly returned with a tasty bug for this little one.

Ailene Kanbe photographed this Cliff Swallow feeding the chick on the right.

And Craig Tooley found this Violet-green Swallow nest in a hedgerow. See the open mouth in the hole? Don't worry, hungry one...an insect is coming your way.

Thanks to Shari, Ailene and Craig for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.ruffimage.com

It's foggy here today with temps in the mid-60s! The fog is a high fog and I can see the ocean. Looks like the sun is trying to break through this afternoon. Nice to have it cool!

This Western Gull was NOT happy a big Bald Eagle was perched nearby. Perhaps there is a nest there. Shari Goforth photographed the action as the gull launched itself at the eagle.

The Bald Eagle took the hint and lifted off.

Great action photos by Shari! I thank her for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Fog made an appearance early this morning, cooling off the immediate coast. It's more than ten degrees cooler today, temps in the low 70s at Rick's and my place.
