East Shore - Lake Tahoe...

I spent some time on the east shore of Lake Tahoe today, arguably one of the most beautiful spots in the west. The water was not quite as smooth as I would have liked but there were still some great photographic opportunities.



This is at Hidden Beach...



This is south of Sand Harbor...



Hidden Beach...

The water level is coming up nicely after years of drought. The lake is still several feet below the high water mark but it is better than it was. Lake Tahoe covers 192 square miles so it takes a bit of water to bring it up!

Take care,

Bill

Summer in the Mountains?

Although it is supposd to be summer according to the calendar, it still feels like winter here in the mountains. It has been snowing and raining more than it has been sunny. The benefit of this is with all the moisture, the spring bloom is coming on in earnest in the higher elevations. Here are some recent shots...



This area will be full of Lupine soon too...



The Corn Lillies are thick...



Mule's Ear...

I hope to have some newer shots in the galley soon. Stay tuned!
