Photo – Cocoa waiting patiently for a hike to the waterfalls, Lake Faucherie, CA

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.  

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.  

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.
