Photo – Old truck in rural Auburn, CA
A few weeks back, I posted a photo tip titled “Shoot it before it’s too late!” Since that post, I have been following my own advice and making it a priority to shoot the subjects I’ve wanted to shoot for a long time, but have taken for granted and assumed they would always be around. I have also been shooting subjects that I know will never be the same again, such as the baby goat in the photo below. He is growing daily!
Photo – “Peter” is one of 3 baby goats next door.
The photos above “The Old and the Young” both taken in my neighborhood, are examples of recent subjects I have captured before it’s too late!Â

Photo – couple canoeing on Lake Clementine, Auburn, CAÂ
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

I was looking through my photos for an image that would illustrate balance. I came upon this one of my dog and I walking accross a log in a rural pond near Auburn, CA .
That wasn’t an easy task, nor is trying to balance my life right now. I, like most people have to juggle many things and it seems things get out of balance so easily. If I spend too much time on business, then the house falls apart. If I spend too much time on the house, the business falls apart. If I spend too much time on the business and the house, the yard falls apart and the list goes on. You get the picture right?
That’s why I haven’t been blogging for a few days. I was spending way too much time on the computer and not near enough in other areas of my life. After spending a few days catching up on yardwork, housework, visiting with family and friends, I’m now back to blogging!
If anyone has a recipe for balancing your life, I’d love to hear from you! You do not need to register or login to comment on this blog.

There are lots of ways to add impact to your photographs, but this one simple tip can often be your “saving grace.”
Adding a splash of red, can turn an ordinary photograph into an attention grabbing, high-impact photograph. The next time you head out for a photo shoot, bring along something red such as a bandana, daypack, or hat. If you are traveling with someone that you plan on photographing, get them to wear one of the items you brought with you. If you ask ahead of time, maybe they would even be willing to wear a red shirt or jacket.
After several years of photographing my husband and a few of our friends, I’ve finally got them trained to wear red. I’m not the best sport when it comes to wearing red myself, so when it’s my turn to be the subject, I strap on my red photo fanny pack, which I bought specifically for this purpose.
Here is an assignment for you. Next time you are out photographing, take a few photos including something red, then take the same photos without. You will be amazed at the difference.

Photo – Couple canoeing Lake Clementine, CA
lt all depends on who you are. A friend and former resident of Auburn doesn’t think so. He, like so many others stop here on their way to Reno or Lake Tahoe.Â
But, if you are a mountain biker, runner, hiker, kayaker, canoeist, dog owner, equestrian, history buff, gold prospector, antique collector or an endurance participant (and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few things), then Auburn just may very well be “a travel destination.”
Auburn is now known as “The Endurance Capital of the World,” as it is home to numerous endurance races. These events such as The Western States 100 and The Tevis Cup are attracting more and more visitors each year. And with the increasing popularity of Auburn, there is more demand for stock photos of the area.
