Stacked

052Came across of bunch of cairns in the forest last weekend. I suspected that this one had fallen over in the recent storm so I stacked a few rocks on top again for the next lucky traveler.

045Drove into Tahoe on highway 88 last Saturday morning. We came around a bend to this beautiful view of Silver Lake with the reflection of trees in the water and a snow capped Thunder Mountain.

022-2The recent bad weather brought much needed rain and snow to the Tahoe basin. You can see the amount of snow that covers this pine bough.

Natural Flocking

024On our way to Tahoe this past weekend, we stopped at Shot Rock and had our first opportunity to enjoy the 1st snow fall of the season. I loved the natural flocking on these old junipers.

Into the Depths

Posted on Updated on

027With the much anticipated opening of The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies this week; I thought it would be fun to post one of my cave photos. This was taken in 2011 at Natural Bridges in Calaveras County. It is a limestone cave/grotto.

Rain Adds Color

012-2Some people thank that when the weather is bad, everything is dark and dreary. I think that rain adds color to the scene. Greens are lusher, the oranges of the rocks seem to pop.

Rain is coming

023Recent weather has me cooped up inside and a chance to revisit some photos from the past months. This was taken in late September at Alpine Lake in California. The rain was coming in and I snapped a few shots before putting the camera away for protection. As you can see from the water lines on the boulder, it’s much needed.
