The Mendonoma Coast has been enveloped in fog the past two days. It quiets down the sound of the barking Sea Lions on Fish Rocks. Karen Tracy photographed the early morning fog drifting up below her home in Anchor Bay.
Thanks to Karen for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Frank Drouillard sent a link where you can watch today's eclipse. Venus will be crossing the sun, an cosmic event that will not occur again for over one hundred years. Here is the link to NASA where you can view it on-line: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/
This is what the early morning sunrise looked like with the full moon setting as Rick and I watched. To start the day with such beauty is a joy.
Our golden retriever wasn't as impressed. Huckleberry was entirely too relaxed to care about the sunrise.
With a nearly full moon and the soft pastels of an early sunrise, the Mendonoma Coast was beautiful indeed this morning. Rick and I have just returned from one week vacation. While we enjoyed it, the best part is driving up Highway One and returning home. We live in beauty here on the coast. I never want to take it for granted.
This morning's sunrise was particularly beautiful with the full moon slowly setting in the west. A few stray clouds leftover from yesterday's storm can be seen drifting in the sky. The oh-so-blue Pacific Ocean completes this portrait of a lovely Mendocino Coast morning.
