Robert Scarola saw hobbits and a face of a lion in the forest.

Sometimes Mother Nature reminds you of something else. Robert Scarola felt as if he had stumbled into a hobbit's forest. Below he found mossy hobbits.

And here a hobbit throne.

Then the face of a lion.

You never know quite what you might see when you wander into a forest on the Mendonoma Coast.

Heatwave on the coast today! There could be a chance for the green flash at sunset.

Thanks to Robert for allowing me to share his whimsical photos with you here.
