Sea gull terrorist . . .

Gull slamming into the ocean . . .

and grabbing a crab . . .

He did 'share' a leg of the poor creature with his tag-a-long friend. I'm vegan so the idea of anything eating a crab doesn't appeal to me. I choose not to intervene in nature 99% of the time but I have to admit this was hard to watch . . .

Sonoma coast get slammed by stormy weather . . .

Traveling anywhere in Sonoma County was risky during and after the storm so we stayed coast side. With the reports of 20' waves I couldn't stay cooped up in the house.

All of these photographs were taken at Duncan's Landing. Shooting here you and your camera can get drenched with one big wave.

I stood in the fierce wind and driving rain to get these shots.

Water runoff from the hills create new waterfalls everywhere along the coast.

Please be mindful of the slick wet roads. Watch for falling limbs, downed trees and flooded roads.

The beauty and bounty of Point Reyes Station . . .

Apple tree in the community garden . . .


Saturday farmer's market tucked in between Toby's Feed Barn and the community garden . . .

Quail eggs from Little Wing Farm

Fresh picked vegetables

Beautiful people . . .

Beautiful music . . .

Really lovely people . . .

Donna's Tamales are fresh and delicious! They even have a great vegan selection. Vegan coconut milk tapioca and I was a happy mama!

We spent time enjoying the market, talked with the vendors and had lunch then headed out to my old stomping grounds . . .

Limantour Beach, Point Reyes National Seashore

Where we, along with dozens of beach-goers watched a pod of bottle-nose dolphins cruise the shoreline for about a half and hour.

Not sure if this is the same pod I photographed in 2012. I'll need to see if I can match the notches to find out if 'Smootch' is one of this group. More images of these dolphins to come on another post.
