golden rolling hills of California

I love how this iPh5 image turned out. Thinking I may have a canvas made of it. We've been doing a lot of yard stuff. Some kind of fun (making a pot with flowering spring plants) and others not as fun (raking up all the pine straw -- a never-ending chore). Still ambivalent about this period of transition...can I really leave this place?

What signals spring better than pink tulips?

Attempting to get my blogging mojo back and one frustrating thing I've encountered is the inability to leave comments at other blogs. I can't do it signed into blogger/google or as name/url for those who make this option available.

Here are some images from a camping trip to Fallen Leaf Lake this summer:

I like the contrast between the tiny trailer and the tall trees.

Inside the wee trailer.

 We had planned to take Cassie to a new to us campground in Yosemite, but the terrible Rim Fire closed the road to get to it as well as the campground itself. So we found rare summertime openings at Fallen Leaf campground. Off we went never thinking the smoke from Yosemite would drift north to the Tahoe basin. It wasn't ideal air quality wise but we had a good time anyway. Lots of bike riding and exploring new parts of both Fallen Leaf Lake and Lake Tahoe.

Couldn't get the song "Midnight at the Oasis" off my mind. Except, I was singing, "mid-day at the oasis."

Busby Barn

Isn't it amazing the quality of photos you can take on an iPhone these days? This is a barn at a local winery we like.
