It`s not every day that you`ll spot this many bowling balls on a beach! Or even any, at all. Schooner Gulch Beach (Bowling Ball Beach) is one of the most unique spots on the entire Mendocino Coast. *Make sure you check the tides before visiting as these are only viewable at low tide.
From Visit Mendocino County: The “balls” are actually concretions, which are far more resilient than the mudstone that once surrounded them. Over millions of years, this has eroded away under the constant onslaught of the Pacific Ocean, forming the cliffs that line the shore behind the beach and leaving the tougher “bowling balls” behind.

Can you believe that this "nest" is actually a mushroom!? Well, it sure is! Let’s learn something: 👏
This species is aptly named "Bird`s Nest Fungus" and it`s quite a fascinating mushroom. Each of those "eggs" (scientifically known as "peridioles") is actually a capsule full of spores. When it rains, droplets splash into the "nest" and disturb the peridioles, ideally splashing them into the air. The peridioles of many species of bird nest fungi have a string attached to the end of them. When a peridiole is flung airborne, the string trails behind it and then sticks or coils itself around anything nearby that it comes in contact with. In this way, the spores have a more auspicious chance of being dispersed. ✨💨
This mushroom doesn`t look terribly small, does it? Well, it`s actually quite little - on average a "nest" is typically measured at approximately 5-7mm in diameter! When I first spotted this fungus several years ago, I was shocked. Based on photos I`d seen, I had assumed they were much larger! 🍄📏
"Jellied Bird`s Nest Fungus" 🐣
(Nidula candida) 🔍
Seemingly endless colorful cliffsides on the Mendocino Coast. If you`re lucky enough to visit, it`ll be one of the most beautiful places you`ll step foot on.

I went to the headlands to enjoy my lunch and quickly realized someone else had the same idea.

There are many beautiful beaches in California it’s true. And when you time it right, every single one will give you some pretty amazing views 😍.

This beach is by far my favorite one we have near us! If you time it right, sunset is simply fantastic. The light hit the bridge just right and the beams shine through it. Just past this bridge is a wide open space of smooth deep sandy beach and a stunning view of the ocean 🌊.

I’ve been bringing Maple here to this spot since she was itty bitty and I cannot wait for one of my favorite seasons that will be coming up so that we can get the next one! #fortbraggphotos #fortbraggbeaches #wccorgis
I do not know how I have not shared this photo yet! It’s got to be one of my favorites, it’s from our trip we took a couple months back. We stayed at our favorite dog friendly motel thebeachcombermotel which right out side of the motel room, past the inviting deck with the fire pits is this beach, our favorite beach. It doesn’t matter the time of year, it’s never disappointing and I’m so glad we got to go. The sunrise is always so breathtaking at the beach.

Where is a favorite location for you to watch the sunrise?
We enjoyed our time on the Skunk Train! I hadn’t been on it since I was little. It now takes you to a bar out in the redwoods! Fun night with great friends! (I am behind on posting).

The sunsets can be pretty surreal at Pudding Creek beach and you have a pretty ultimate view from right in front of the rooms. Have you been to this little cypress?

We are in the home stretch toward fifteen. January always feels like a month of deep reflection on the life of this sweet soul that I get to nurture and prepare for the world. The bittersweet notion that i return to time and time again, is that our days together are really quite brief. As he embarks on fifteen and we peruse the course catalog for his sophomore year of high school, as we talk about college and beyond, I know that the empty nest is looming and so are his grand adventures. My heart is permanently oscillating between the melancholy arrangement of absolute joy and deep sorrow. To have been given this gift of a son, to have spent years cultivating his roots, and to have witnessed the emergence of these wings that will help him embark on his many journeys, that is what makes my heart sing. The road ahead may be uncertain, and surely nothing is promised, but watching this boy head down his own path will be my greatest joy. 💚✨
You really feel the fleetingness of time and ephemerality of beauty, as you watch the rising sun slowly but unstoppably illuminate our coast, from the tip of sea stacks to the crashing waves.

My kind of morning... 🛶
During our stay at littleriverinn we got to paddle along the Noyo River on a guided tour by liquidfusionkayak. #hosted We saw deer, a blue heron, a peregrine falcon (! attacking another bird), and a harbor seal. The water was quiet and peaceful and even our fur babies even got to come along. 🦊
Visit liquidfusionkayak to learn more and if you`re headed to Mendocino, to book your own tour. 💙

We are lucky we got some pictures up here because once we went down to the beach our first thought was, hey let’s run into the ocean. It didn’t end how we thought it would, but let’s say one of us went under.

Comet Tsuchinshan ATLAS, the Milky Way, and Point Cabrillo Light. The lighthouse was captured after sunset when there was still some light in the sky, then blended with a stacked capture of the dark sky. This technique allowed me to balance the very bright lighthouse and the dim elements of the sky in a pleasing composition. Come see this and more new work at the Mendocino Coast Photography Gallery, 357 N. Franklin this Friday for First Friday. Open 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. #fortbraggphotos #fortbraggcalifornia #mendocino #astrophotography #mendocinocoast #mendocinocounty
These wind-blown cypress trees have withstood the test of time along with the rugged rocks along our beautiful coastline. Take a cruise along the headlands and soak it all in. ✨
