Photo – Peg Challender kayaking on Lake Faucherie, CAÂ
Here is another photo of Peg, as we kayaked around Lake Faucherie. This has to be one of the prettiest lakes I’ve ever paddled on!

During our recent trip to Lake Faucherie, I kayaked around the entire lake, with my friend (and model), Peg.
This photo is one of a series of photos that will be added to our Kayaking Stock Photo Gallery in the coming weeks.

We are back home now after 4 wonderful days of camping at Lake Faucherie. Actually, we camped below the lake at Canyon Creek Campground. The lake itself has a couple of group camp sites that get reserved as soon as they become available, unless you camp during the week only.
We are now playing catch up in the office, editing the images from our trip to Faucherie and uploading the remaining Cabo San Lucas Stock Photos to our Website. While going through the images from our camping trip, I came across this image of our dog, Cocoa, also known as “Little Brown Bear.” Can you figure out why? That’s right, because she looks like a bear! She looks so much like a bear, that several times while out hiking, we have had people yell “theres a bear over there!” And when we go hiking during hunting season, we even put an orange bandana around her neck so she won’t get shot. No, not as in photographs, but shot as in hunted. Â
I thought since so many of you nature photographers out there shoot (photograph) bears, you might enjoy this photo.  I will be posting more photos from this trip soon. Â
Eventually, Cocoa will have her own pages on this blog. Some of what she will post will be her favorite places to hike, kayak, canoe, camp, snowshoe, cross country ski, as well as her favorite back road drives right in her own backyard – California’s Gold Country and Sierra Region.

You can now view a few of the photos from our Cabo San Lucas trip in our new Cabo San Lucas Stock Photo Gallery.
They are available for purchase as prints or high-resolution, rights-managed images. We will be uploading more soon.

We returned to Sugar Pine Reservoir this past Sunday with friends, for some more paddling, hiking and photographing. One of the images I wanted to get when Jeff and I were there the previous Sunday, I was unable to get because I forgot to charge my backup battery! Oh, well, s**t happens! The shot that’s been on my assignment list for sometime, is of someone on the dock in the late afternoon.
While we were waiting for our friends to unload their gear, I noticed several teens hanging out at the end of the dock. It was 1:00. That’s not the time I generally like to shoot, but I added a polarizer to my lens and shot away anyway. I managed to get several great shots in spite of the less than perfect lighting. But, when we returned to the dock later, about 6:00, I had my husband photograph our dog Cocoa and I in the same spot with beautiful sidelighting.
It was definitely worth the wait!

This past Sunday, Jeff & I headed for Sugar Pine Reservoir to do a little kayaking, hiking and photographing. During our lunch break, I looked to the sky and the scene in the photo below is what I saw. I’ve seen a lot of vapor trails in my life, but none that have caught my attention like this one! I was able to quickly get my camera and capture several photos of it before it dissipated. I guess you could say that I was at the “right place at the right time!”
