We're headed back home after about three weeks on the road and have had another wonderful trip to Lake Tahoe and elsewhere in the Eastern Sierra's. Weather has been stunning, total sunshine every day--70's in Tahoe and High 80's or so in the rest of the Carson Valley.

A couple of new experiences this trip. One was viewing the nature center at Taylor Creek in South Lake Tahoe. We thoroughly enjoyed this little one-hour diversion, a nature walk along Taylor Creek. First photo shows this beautiful crystal clear creek; the second shows a few of the hundreds of salmon spawning; and the third shows their under-creek live viewing area (notice the water line of the creek where the small dam above is spilling into it).





The next fun new thing we did is watch the Tahoe Derby Dames in their last game of the season at Bijou Community Park. This is full body contact roller derby and the gals were great! AND, THEY WON!





A couple more of my favorite shots are of an early evening visit to the Valhalla site (the Boat House and pier), the Tuesday Farmer's Market, and the Ski Lift at Heavenly Village.






This retired life is such a treat! And we are so thankful; Bob is feeling really good again!
