Jeff & Cocoa cooling off in the North Fork of the American River, Auburn, California. I think I shall title this photo "Rear View!"
While down at the river Monday evening, I couldn't resist capturing these two wading in this little kiddie pool. In particular, I wanted to get a unique composition of them!

"River of Gold," Confluence of the American River, Auburn, California.
This is another one of my favorite images, from our photo shoot down at the Confluence of the American River on Monday.
I'm keeping this really short. The main reason for this post is to try out "NetworkedBlogs." As soon as I hit the "publish" button on this blog post, it is suppose to post directly to my Facebook page.
Let's see if it works!

American River Rock Art, otherwise known as "Cairn," Confluence of the American River, Auburn, California.
This image of the stack of rocks was taken on Monday, during our "Dine & Dip" down at the American River.
To escape from the heat after several days in a row of triple digit temps, we decided to take our dinner to the river. Following dinner was a very refreshing and welcomed dip in the crystal clear North Fork of the American River. I think this could become a weekly habit! [click to continue…]

Woman running with her dogs across the famous "No Hands Bridge" in Auburn, California.
I chose to feature this photo in my "Wednesday's WOW" post for a couple of reasons.
First of all, I really like it and secondly the annual Western States 100 Endurance Run is coming up June 27-28. If you have never heard of this race, it is a 100-mile foot race which starts in Squaw Valley, California and winds up in Auburn, California 100-miles later. The participants of this race will cross No Hands Bridge minutes before reaching the finish line at Placer High School. NOTE: This bridge is in both El Dorado and Placer counties.
