Photo taken at high noon in colorful June from the Albion River Inn. The Inn has one of the most beautiful views of the ocean south of Mendocino. The soft mysterious fog was playing along the edge of the rugged northern California coast by the village of Albion, California.

This Pacific Northwest Maritime climate means that our summers are softened by the mist and fog, creating an everchanging mood that, for visual artists, is an inspiration!
Inland it's hot, on the other hand: just a few miles away and one is in the dry Mediterranean Climate zone.
California has some of the most varied and numerous species of plants in the world because of all its micro-climates - from the deserts to the grasslands and high altitude Sierras, to the dark ancient Redwood forests and the coastal zones.
These roses were planted by early American settlers who brought their favorite garden varieties with them from the East Coast in the mid-1800's, after the Gold Rush. It rarely freezes along the Pacific here so all kinds of tender plants make it through the winter. Drought tolerant plants are best for the summer because we don't get a drop of rain between June and October. The mist brings welcome moisture.
To help protect life on Earth, we can work together to retool our economies and develop new ways to fuel our everyday life activities with energy that is sustainable for the planet.
