Kickin' back

We got up to our Tahoe/Donner place on Thursday night. Yesterday my dog and I took a four-mile hike up a little mountain nearby to where there is a privately-owned observatory. I took some pictures, but I will not be able to show them until I get home to my main computer because the card-reader on this laptop is not working.

Today, I just did the Nature Loop that starts just across the highway from our place up here. It's a little over three miles around the loop and is just beautiful even though it is in the middle of the Tahoe/Donner development. There is even an active beaver colony dam and pond along the way. Anyway, I took pictures today with the camera in my cell phone. Enjoy...
