Middle Fork of the American River, Auburn, CA
This photo was taken on the same day the waterfall photo was taken. We were hiking on the right side of the river on the Western States Trail in El Dorado County. Had we been hiking on the other side of the river, we would have been hiking in Placer County.Â
I just realized that I started this Blog one year ago today! I have also noticed over the course of the year, that a lot of people read my first blog entry. I did the same thing, when I was doing my research, before starting my Blog. And I bet a lot of you out there that have Blogs did too!
This first post was also one of my favorites of the year, so I thought it would be fun to repost it today.
Enjoy!

Title – Auburn, California – A Travel Destination?
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
Waterfall along the Western States Trail, Auburn, CA
After examining our snowshoes yesterday, we discovered they were badly in need of repair. So, our day of snowshoeing turned into a day of hiking instead.
Foresthill Bridge -Â Auburn, CA
The famous Foresthill Bridge is the 3rd highest bridge (over 700 feet) in the US and is the highest bridge in CA. It was also featured in the film XXX.
Well, we didn’t have a White Christmas! But, we did get a half inch or so of snow last night. Unfortunately, it has been melting all night and is almost gone. It was still exciting!
I am bringing my camera on my run this morning, if it doesn’t start raining. Hopefully, I will bring back something worth adding to this post later on.

I was taking a walk in our neighborhood a few days ago with our dog, Cocoa. I took my camera along in hopes of finding something I could photograph, that I could use in this post.Â
As I was walking by this outdoor Christmas tree in our neighbors yard, I saw Cocoa and I in this ornament. I thought that would be perfect!
So, to everyone out there that follows this Blog, we wish you a Merry Christmas!
Sherri, Jeff and Cocoa Meyer
Photo – Horse in a rural Auburn, CA pasture
I’ve been trying to get a good shot of this horse, during my morning walks for quite sometime. On the days when the conditions were the best, I didn’t have my camera. Then, I would carry my camera and the conditions wouldn’t be good.
Finally, a couple of weeks ago, everying lined up. I brought my camera and I got there when the lighting was just right. There was also frost on the ground, which added greatly to the scene. It was worth the wait!

Well, it’s raining cats and dogs again today. I had originally planned on going into Old Town, where the photo above was taken and shooting the town all dressed up for Christmas. But, I think I’ll bag that idea and continue on with my holiday baking and gift making.

So much for having a White Christmas this year, according to the Weather Man! Of course, we know that they are not always right!

This post doesn’t really fit into the winter theme I was on. But, it does fit into a ongoing theme about things we observe in our own front yard, like a beautiful Sierra Sunrise, snowfall or a deer!
