Point Arena Day 4
I spent time on the bluffs by the lighthouse this morning and then up at Manchester Beach Park this afternoon. Fog threatened this morning and delivered this afternoon - and what beauty there is in it!

Soft and rainy day
We traveled to Anderson Valley to visit some of the wineries there during the rainy daytime. Pretty easy trip, not much traffic and lots of turnoffs to let those in a hurry go by.
Here's some shots from today in no particular order.
Overcast skies saturated colors.
Wine country - Roederer Estate.
Songbirds are challenging to capture as they do not sit still very long. Here's a couple from Greenwood Ridge Winery - Diana was tasting and I was out here!
Wonderfull grapes!
Toulouse has the goose as it's symbol but none on the property because "they don't behave well"! A retired fireman from Oakland built this with first harvest in '02.

Seaside Afternoon
We enjoyed a relaxing day and then drove up to Moat Beach for the afternoon. A very rocky beach mostly used for surfers and a short distance north of Bowling Ball Beach.
Lots of beautiful things - often they look like offering either to the SeaGods or from them!
Hanging out looking for dead things!
One bowling ball for Peter!
After the beach we had dinner at the Point Arena Chowder house just off the pier. Gorgeous sunset.
Moon and Jupiter?

Peter Rabbit met us at the beginning of the walk.

California Dreaming
Another day in the land of milk and honey - or is it granola and nuts? When you're looking for beauty it doesn't matter!
Traveling south to Gualala. Had to stop for this.
On the way to the lighthouse the Kestrel was harassing the Red-tailed Hawk.
Gray fox or coyote? A beauty no matter it's name.
Humans arrive and Raven leaves!
Looking up inside the lighthouse.
South-looking panorama from the top of the lighthouse.
Always trying a new angle on lighthouse shots.

Hanging out around Point Arena, California
We're here for a week, vacationing and relaxing. Wandering around Point Arena and Gualala and other spots along the way taking photos and listening to local jazz musicians tonight.
Weather is wonderful - promise of rain tomorrow and Monday but who knows, right?! Trips to Fort Bragg, Mendocino and Anderson Valley are on our plan - perhaps some parks and walks along the headlands to look for whales.
Whatever we do - we're on vacation! The new house is getting painted inside and the driveway concrete is being repaired while we are playing - Yippee!
Some shots from today::
Morning light looking east.
Classic fence found in the area.
Lovely, luscious flowers just waiting to be captured!
Sign on Point Arena Wharf!
Kelp and jellyfish and slicks on water make an interesting design.
A bad day surfing is always better than a good day at the office.
Eucalyptus leaves color in the dark woods.
The next three are from the Chapel at Sea Ranch - a small and unique chapel that reminds me of a Gnome's house!
Stopped by to say hello - eyeball looks cubic!
Inside the fountain at the chapel - slow drips...
Sea lions doing what sea lions do during low tide!
GBH and his shadow.
Seathrift lit by setting sun.
Point Arena lighthouse and windblown tree.
Just couldn't resist..
