Blue Sky – Blue Water
A nice evening on Caples Lake after the first snow last October. The sky wasn’t anything special to look at until you saw the reflection of it the lake.
Hike to Star Lake
One of my favorite places to hike to in the Lake Tahoe Basin is Star Lake. A little alpine lake that has many fond memories.
Flowing Fall Color
Taken a few years ago, on one of our ‘fall peep’ hunts. These aspens appear in full fall color flowing down the mountain side along the Eastern Sierras.
Fog in the Pasture
Driving home early last Sunday the fog was rising in the pasture.
Mt Vernon Slave Cabin
The media guide says that this is a replica of a slave’s cabin on Mt. Vernon estates.
“When he was 11, George Washington inherited 10 slaves from his father, and eventually owned as many as 316 during Mount Vernon’s peak of activity. Over a period of several years, Washington actually changed his mind about slavery, declaring in 1786 that he hoped a plan would be adopted by which “slavery in this country may be abolished by slow, sure and imperceptible degrees.” When Washington died in 1799, his will stated that all slaves under his ownership were to be freed. Of the 123 slaves from Mount Vernon who were freed after his death, a number of them were provided for while staying on the plantation.” from the website: http://www.mountvernon.org/
