Photo -Â “Etheral Webs”
This is one of the first photos I took with my DSLR camera. I was hiking along the middle fork of the American River one fall day, when I came upon this most unusual nature scene. The spider webs were backlit and covered with dew, which gave them a very etheral look. That really caught my eye. The people I was hiking with never even noticed them, but they weren’t hunting for photo ops either!
This photo will be one of many new nature scenes available very soon as a fine art print. We are currently working on a Holiday 2007 Print Gallery, that should be finished within a couple of weeks.Â

Photo – Jeff and Cocoa hiking the Aspen lined Sagehen Creek Trail, near Truckee, CA
We didn’t quite make it to the end of the trail. We spent too much time photographing in this one beautiful meadow and we had plans to meet our friends later on in Sierraville. A couple of hikers that passed by, highly recommended that we keep going, as the Salmon were spawning near where Sagehen Creek and Stampede Reservoir meet. That was only about another half-mile further. I guess we will have to return, as we were also a couple weeks early for peak fall colors!

Cocoa gets one more chance to catch a fish on our return hike. One of her favorite things to do when we are near water is to fish. If we are staying in one place for several hours, she will spend most of the time along the shoreline fishing for minnows. She is so easily entertained!

Our dog, Cocoa, decided to round out the color mix a bit for this shot. Kris has to be getting low on treats by now!

I love the way they all line up by color! I’ve always heard dogs were color blind, but now I’m not so sure. Maybe they lined up by breed rather than by color.

Lucky dogs! Need I say any more?

This past Sunday, I went on a wonderful day trip with my husband, Jeff and our dog, Cocoa. First on our list was to hike the beautiful 5-mile “Dog Friendly” Sagehen Creek Trail. It starts on highway 89, just a few miles out of Truckee and ends up at Stampede Reservoir.
One of my favorite subjects to photograph is of people interacting with their dogs. We had been on this trail before, so I knew there would be people hiking with their dogs. But, I didn’t expect to meet Kris and her 4 extremely “well behaved” and “photogenic” dogs! She was hiking the trail with her 3 Golden Retreivers and 1 Irish Setter, which she adopted through Nor Cal. We thought we had our hands full with just one dog!
I will post more photos from our day trip to Sierra County soon.

Peg heading for the swimming hole at the upper falls, Lake Faucherie, CA
Mara was right! This hole had it all. Great access, large, flat rocks for lounging and beautiful scenery all around. Again, we had this place all to ourselves! I will be posting more photos of our adventures soon, so check back often!

Mara had checked out the swimming hole below the upper falls earlier in the day. She added that it was by far the best of the bunch to dip in. So later on, the 3 of us returned there for a little dipping and relaxation.

Photo – Peg Challender getting a 2nd glimpse of the first waterfall, Lake Faucherie, CA
Although this waterfall is drop dead gorgeous, it isn’t the best for taking a dip. Getting in and out of it would be very difficult. But, it sure makes for a great photo op! Follow along as the adventure continues. I will lead you to the waterfalls with the best swimming pools.
