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.
I love it! There is always one dog that needs to be kept on the leash, well not always.
It must be something to do with the color! Actually, it was a young Irish Setter that she hadn’t had very long. And I guess they can be quite the roamers.
Great pics. Glad you guys stopped by. Look forward to seeing you guys again soon.
Los Dos Hermanos is a great place to eat mexican or a burger. The Round Up Cafe is also a great place for breakfast or lunch.
Sids place can provide beer or wine for that quick break from traveling or as a destination.
We also have the Hot Springs close by and a fun resort with a restaurant that I hear is pretty good.
Thanks for the info. Mark. I would love to try the Mexican Restaurant sometime. Maybe next time we come up.
