Sunrise over Lake Tahoe



Unbelievable beauty this morning. Brennan Manning writes that the sunrise speaks to him of the the Lord's love. This morning, he must really love us.

From the top of High Camp, Squaw Peak








We spent the day at Squaw Peak - the Home of the 1960 Winter Olympics. Took the cable car up to High Camp and enjoyed the views. At sunset, the mountains across the lake turned brilliant hot pink for just a few minutes. A wonderful close to a beautiful day.

The Beauty of Winter


As we sat watching the sun come up, four flocks of Canadian geese flew over the lake - joining into one new formation. They reminded me of a huge marching band -- I think they were flying back in forth, warming up in the early rays of the sun. And then a bald eagle flew across the lake and right by our window. Beautiful.

Lake Tahoe - Sunrise





We drove through quite a snow storm last night to get to Lake Tahoe...but this morning the clouds had moved on and the sunrise was incredible. We enjoyed a fire and a cup of coffee and watched.

Thanksgiving 2009




Delightful chaos ensued for 4 days while all of our family (except Jason) enjoyed the holiday at our house. We had a great time.
