I was able to visit pointcabrillo again a few months ago. There is something so magical about this place. On this day, it was overcast and dreamy, which made for some lovely photos. The last photo was taken last week from the Mendocino Headlands. I always try to capture different perspectives when I’m visiting. #visitfortbraggca #fortbraggca #mendocino #lighthouse #cutedeer #sacramentophotographer #fortbraggphotos
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mama’s in my life 🤍
Wether it’s a baby having a really tough time during a newborn session, a nervous bride right before she walks down the aisle, or a little guy who just doesn’t want his picture taken today. Mamas are always there to get you through it. I am so lucky to have so many strong women in my life (especially my mama) to teach me how to make it in this crazy world🤍🌸🌺

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

Remembering back to late Fall 2016 when I took a trip up the California coast to Mendocino (4 hours north of the San Francisco Bay Area). The forested areas there are a fungi photographers gold mine - I need to go back! 🍄

The Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens are 47 acres of colorful beauty. With a rainbow assortment of different flowers, lush green forests, and a commanding ocean view, this northern coast botanical garden should definitely be on your list of places to see when you’re in Mendocino. 💐
Founded in 1961, the garden is one of the largest ones in California and hosts a variety of flora from around the world. Different blooms occur at different months of the year, ensuring that you’ll get to see flowers whenever you go. The bird watching is fantastic, and you’re surrounded by several scenic trails that take you into dense woodlands and bushes. Check the weather before you go—it’s often foggy on the northern coast, but that can make for a serene visit to the gardens. It’s a wonderful place to spend an hour or two admiring the beauty of life. 🌸

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! 🍄📏

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).

Pink Moonset on the Pacific.
We got spoiled in short order with beautiful weather on the north coast, it seems that September has always been great, but I like August in the low 80’s and views like these of the last supermoon of the year.🌊🌕

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.
Fantastic capture by weekendsherpa 📸

You’re seeing something pretty cool here! This is a phenomenon referred to as “guttation”. When a fungus has taken in too much moisture, it exudes the excess fluid in the form of droplets. While this looks like fresh rain or dew, it’s actually the fungus squeezing out extra liquid! I love finding guttating mushrooms! 🍄💦
