I took some friends out to Emerald Bay by Lake Tahoe to see the view. The view didn’t show up quite like we were hoping for, but it was still scenic!

These gulls look pretty happy by Lake Tahoe. I would be too if I had this view every day!

This was a familiar view from the same Tahoe hike I posted a few days ago.  Clear blue skies, snow on the mountains in the distance, and little wildflowers spotting the sides of the trail.  A constant view like this made it the perfect day to be out there.

There is a viewpoint of Lake Tahoe on the north shore that is a few mile hike from the road.  At the top there are three interesting rock pillars that I used to change up the typical view of the lake.  On the hike up they just looked like piles of rock that stuck up from the highest point, but from the top I was able to use them to frame the sides of the lake.

I was able to spend last weekend in Tahoe and stayed at a great place right on the lake.  We spent many a morning and night swimming at this very spot.  The water was cold but felt amazing.  I got this shot by getting down close to the water to catch the small waves that were coming in.  The water was the most amazing shades of blue and green.
