We had a little excitement around the complex here today. Pictured above and below is a fallen 60 foot Eucalyptus Tree that took out a fence, a carport, and a motorcycle. I feel real bad for that motorcycle owner, but at least no one was injured as far as I know. [...]

This photograph is of beautiful Grass Lake on a warm Summer afternoon.
We hiked to this alpine lake from our campsite in the Plumas / Eureka State Park out side the little town of Graeagle in the Northern California Sierra Nevada Mountains. If I remember correctly this hike took us a couple of hours [...]
