pope beach

June 27, 06
near Lake Tahoe
midday - warm, mostly clear, thunderheads building

Stopped for lunch at Pope Beach, watched a couple stellar jays eat somebody else's chips - headed up around the lake -



found a stand of aspen while trying to get a good shot of Mt. Tallac




Mt. Tallac hiding in the density of the negs - with & without filtration



Tahoe City Commons Beach
found out that lightning strike fires yesterday are to blame for the smokey air today



Tried out UV filter to see if it would help - just a little


Pines at Sandy Beach - north shore - air seems to be clearing just a little, light breeze helping out



Sandy Beach picnic spot

farm & ranch

June 13
morning
Dixon farm road
cool cloudy





Dead light - Connie has camera trouble - we opt to head back to my house for a camera fix and then to Gibson Ranch for a test -



afternoon
Gibson Ranch
along Dry Creek



the creek is always one of my favorite places to be - nearby yet a total sanctuary
