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!”

We are busy working on our photos from our recent trip to Cabo. We went mainly to celebrate our 25th anniversary, but bringing home photos to add to our stock files, was also on the agenda. We will be uploading Cabo San Lucas photos to our galleries in a few days. Here is a partial list of subjects we will have available for licensing and print orders.
Some of these images will also be available as “digital art” photos. Check back in a few days!
Our annual camp out is coming up. We have decided to return to Lake Faucherie in the Sierras, where Jeff & I did a “scouting” trip last summer and took a few pics. This time we plan to spend a few days in the area and bring back several memory cards full of photos. A few of our friends will join us for another great time of adventure, laughter, eating, drinking, relaxing and more.
Here are some pics from our scouting trip last year.

We will be adding many images from our upcoming trip to our galleries later this summer. Check back often to see what’s new and what’s coming soon!
Photo – Jeff and Cocoa kayaking Lake Faucherie, Sierras, CAÂ
Last week we added a few new Kayaking Stock Photos to our kayaking gallery. The photo above is one of them. My husband and our dog are kayaking on “Dog Friendly” Lake Faucherie, a beautiful, serene lake in the Sierras.
Most people we talk to can’t believe that we can actually fit our 80 lb. Aussie/Chocolate Lab dog in our boat with us, much less paddle. It’s not easy,but it can be done as you can see here in this photo. I took a series of the two of them and this is one of my favorites.
This photo is available for purchase in our Kayaking Stock Photo Gallery.

Try paddling Lake Clementine. It’s great for canoeing and kayaking. It’s mostly flatwater, with a few rapids at the upper end where the North Fork of the American River flows into the lake. The water is very warm during the summer months and there are several sandy beaches along the shoreline. So, pack a picnic lunch, load up the boats and head for one of the best paddling lakes in the area!Â
Getting There:
Lake Clementine is located off the Auburn-Foresthill Road, approximately two miles from Auburn. From I-80 in Auburn, exit at Foresthill, drive 3.5 miles on Foresthill Road, turn left onto Lake Clementine Road. It’s about 2 miles down to the boat dock, via a paved road. You can also access the lake at the upper end, by driving a little further up on Foresthill Road, turning left and driving about 2 miles, via a dirt road. The dirt road is bumpy in places, but most vehicles can make it just fine.  I prefer to enter the lake from the upper end. This way you avoid most of the speed boats and it’s by far the prettiest part of the lake.Â

Digital art photo of T-shirts, made from an original photographÂ
While Jeff & I were gobbling down our first authenic Mexican Tacos during our recent trip to Cabo, we couldn’t help but notice the variety of t-shirts available. We didn’t really have time to read them all, so I decided to take a photo of this display instead and read them later.Â
