The Gualala River is running fast and strong with all the recent rains. We treasure this wild river and its tributaries. Peggy Berryhill was walking recently at Gualala Point Regional Park when she noticed movement in the river. It looked too big to be River Otters.

 What Peggy was seeing was a Doe and her yearling swimming across the river.

Thanks to Peggy for allowing me to share her fun photos with you here.

With the recent rains, the Gualala River is full. Since the river is still closed to the Pacific Ocean, the lagoon has expanded into the floodplains. It's a lovely sight to see. On a walk yesterday I took several photos of this wild river. When we receive enough rain, the river will break through the sandbar. And waiting for the river to open are Steelhead!
