Storms have been hitting the Mendonoma Coast, with three more to go. Last night's sunset was spectacular and I photographed it so you could see it too.
Tomorrow I will be sharing photos of the Stengel Beach Public Access Trail and Waterfall on The Sea Ranch. Rick and I walked it on Thursday, one of the few clear days this week. I'll give you a hint - it's beautiful!
One storm after another has hit the Mendonoma Coast. And it turned very cold over the weekend. The barometric pressure was extremely low, 29.37 inches, and cell after cell of unstable air roiled over the ocean and coast. It sure made for a beautiful sunset last night.
I dedicate this photo to my sister-in-law, Gail Jackson, who loves the sunset pictures posted here the most.
To see one of the many beautiful sunset photos on this site, here's the link to a sunset from Cook's Beach: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2011/07/12/inspiring-sunset-at-cooks-beach/
Today has been a day full of rainbows. I will share one with you tomorrow - something, perhaps, to brighten your Monday.
It's unusual for the Mendonoma Coast to be hit by winter-like storms in early October but that is what is happening. Yesterday we got nearly two inches of rain at our home in Anchor Bay. Another even bigger storm is due in tonight. Batten down the hatches! But this morning's sunrise was lovely.
Several friends have told me they have found Chanterelles, Cantharellus cibarius, in the past couple of days. This morning, in our forest, Rick and I saw golden Chanterelles just appearing. Notice the Banana Slug approaching them too.
Chanterelles are among the most delicious of the coast's wild mushrooms. Thank you, Mother Nature!
