Margaret Lindgren has an ideal job. She created the tour company, Unbeaten Path Tours. She loves the Mendonoma coast and gets to see nature up close and personal nearly every day. Recently she led a tour at the Point Arena-Stornetta Lands. Look at the beautiful day they had!

You can see the Lighthouse in the far distance. Margaret also photographed a colony of Brandt's Cormorants. The young ones are the brown ones.

Margaret and her tour also spotted a California Sea Lion, which she said was quite unusual for that particular spot. It was just headed into the water.

The Lands never disappoint - there is always something beautiful and/or interesting to see.

Thanks to Margaret for allowing me to share her photos with you here. To learn more about taking a tour with her - and I highly recommend it! - here is her website: https://www.unbeatenpathtours.com/

We had a nice, drenching rain last night. We received 1.85 inches at our place in Anchor Bay. So far we have received 2.40 inches of rain. Today is warm and humid! Can edible mushrooms be nearly at hand?

The cute, little Western Gull chicks look like small rocks, giving them some desperately needed camouflage. Margaret Lindgren recent photographed a chick near The Sea Ranch.

Here the chick is with one of its parents.

Until the chick can fly, it is vulnerable to predators. We hope all will go well for this chick.

Thanks to Margaret for allowing me to share her photos with you here. Margaret is the owner of Unbeaten Path Tours. I highly recommend taking one of her hikes, which Rick and I recently did. I will have to report on that in another blog post! To learn more about Margaret's tours, here is the link to her website: https://www.unbeatenpathtours.com/

Margaret Lindgren, of Unbeaten Path Tours, took clients out two days ago, touring the Point Arena-Stornetta Lands. The surf was amazing.

The mist from the crashing waves drifted over Highway One. Yes, the Pacific Ocean was having its say!
