Morning in Big Meadow
Recently went backpacking for 4 days in the Tahoe Basin area. This was the 1st day we were out. We started at the trail-head Big Meadow near HWY 89 at 6:30 in the morning.
Pine cone and Forest Phlox
I’ve seen a million pine cones on the forest floor before . It wasn’t until a recent hike that I noticed the variations in color within the cone. I thought, this was a cool shot against the phlox.
Cove at Bonsai Rock
Switched to black and white for this photo. The water looks like a meandering stream but this is part of Lake Tahoe. Normally these boulders are underwater. We need rain soon.
Exposed at Sand Harbor
Boulders as big as cars, normally under water are exposed at Sand Harbor.
Bonsai Rock – Lake Tahoe
On an overcast day, I scrambled down to this cove and took photos at a place called Bonsai Rock.
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.
