Lake Tahoe Picture

Here's another picture from the nature walk we took at Taylor Creek. The south shore of Lake Tahoe is visible on the right.

From the Ashes

While we were on a nature walk at Taylor Creek we took a small detour down a forest service road. We came upon the charred remains of some trees in a clearing. As I was contemplating the best angle for the shot Lynda said “Ooh, get a picture of that!”

Smokey City

The smokey skies of Downtown Sacramento looking west from 801 K Street. The smoke is due to wild fires in the area.

New Reflections

The U.S. Bank Tower at 621 Capitol Mall reflected in the glass of the building at 555 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA.

Bird of Paradise

Stolen strait from Wikipedia:

Strelitzia reginae is a monocotyledonous flowering plant indigenous to South Africa. Common names include Strelitzia, Crane Flower or Bird of Paradise, though these names are also collectively applied to other species in the genus Strelitzia. Its scientific name commemorates Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, queen consort of King George III.

Learning to Fly

The birds in the nest outside my bedroom window hatched. This is one of the babies learning to fly.
