March 21st, 2021 Yesterday we arrived at Sugar Pine Point State Park on the west shore of Lake Tahoe. The beauty here comes through so loud and clear, there’s really no need for words. If you’re interested in reading about the historic Hellman-Ehrman Mansion (Pine Lodge), you can read more information here. It’s currently closed, but fingers crossed it’ll be

March 20th, 2021 A couple weeks ago, we were bored on a Sunday so we hopped in the car and drove the circumference of Lake Tahoe. The loop — with its many twists and turns — is about 72 miles, filled with vistas at every point. Our first stop was just above Emerald Bay overlooking Fannette Island. There’s only one

February 22nd, 2021 After yesterday’s Heavenly ski day, we’re wrapping up our Lake Tahoe visit with a golden winter sunset. On an afternoon such as this one, Lake Tahoe’s placid surface and deep clarity make for multi-layered reflective photos.

The second and third periods of the game were postponed until tonight at 9:00

Watch for live views of my beautiful Lake

February 18th, 2021 In honor of today’s totally galactic Mars landing (WOW!), here’s a pretty moonset at Lake Tahoe from exactly two years ago. It was 8:15 a.m., the moon was dipping, the sun was lighting the crest above Homewood, and Tahoe’s M.S. Dixie II was just waking up from her nightly slumber in Zephyr Cove. Cheers to interplanetary travel

February 3rd, 2021 After yesterday’s ski odyssey, I’m staying with the winter theme. Here’s a photo from exactly two years ago — a very snowy season in the Sierra. This view from Heavenly Resort gives you an idea of just how big and blue Lake Tahoe is, hence the nickname for this vast, cold wonder. So much has changed in
