Northern California Hidden Cove
Took a drive down HWY 1 along the California Coast last week. Found a small pull out on the road and followed a trail to this hidden cove.
Lupine & Clover
Bight purple Lupine and pink Clover in bloom along the shoreline.
Lupine on the Lake
This Lupine on the shores of Lake Tahoe stood about three feet tall.
Be Vigilant
The restored fire lookout at Martis PEak reminds us that we need to be vigilant during the dry season. This lookout station has views of Truckee, Northstar and the Northern reaches of the Lake Tahoe Basin.
Fire Lookout Station
Drove around to the North side of Lake Tahoe. We parked an walked up to the point. We were surprised to find this restored fire lookout station at the top.
Martis Peak Overlook
There’s a old dirt forest road on the Northshore of Tahoe. If you walk along the trail by the meadow of Mule Ears you’ll come to this overlook. High above Lake Tahoe is this beautiful vista.
Bright Mule Ears
Bight yellow flowers of the Mule Ears rustle in the wind. The leaves of Mule Ears are covered with soft white matted hairs.
Sulfur Flowers at Martis Peak
Sulfur Flower Eriogonum umbellatum ~ Buckwheat Family
