This was taken on the way up Mt. Tallac in Tahoe on a day I spent backcountry skiing last season. The snow has been falling big time in California so my attention has been turning back to the mountains in Tahoe. This was a beautiful day, you can see some tracks in the center of the frame, and that is what kept us going on this long hike up!
A perfectly planted row of trees that were begging to have their picture taken. Their yellow leaves lit up the whole street as I walked by.
The Christmas Tree as seen in 2008 in front of the State Capitol of California. I have a Christmas party tonight so I thought this photo was appropriate!
This is the view from the hike up Granite Chief at Squaw Valley. This isn’t the typical spot at the top where you would take in the view of what you will ski down, but I liked the way these trees were windblown on the backside. The whole image has a very cold and snowy feel to it. We have been getting some fantastic early snow here the last few days and I’ve been dreaming of skiing, so I had to post a snow pic!
This old fence along a meadow in Tahoe has a perfect fall feeling to it. The colors weren’t at their peak but there was some nice contrast between the trees and the meadow.
This is part of a huge fallen tree in Calaveras Big Trees State Park. This downed part of the tree had been chipped away with an ax to create a pretty cool pattern.
With Halloween right around the corner I wanted to find something a little spooky to post today. The morning I took this it was really foggy and the sunrise looked more like a creepy moon. I love the mild winters in Northern California and these foggy mornings are something that I have to look forward to break up the many days of sunshine we get in a row during the summer!
On a long drive down the Oregon coast I saw a small island with this one little tree on it. I think the crazy clouds in the background really pull the image together.
After the outsidelands concert in San Francisco, they lit up the trees with crazy colored lights. It was very sureal.
