One thing you see a lot of in Lake Tahoe is pinecones. They're everywhere. On the trees, on the ground, in the gutters, in the mouths of chipmunks. I like their texture and patterns.
Sorry I haven't been able to visit many of your projects lately. Been busy with so many activities while on vacation in Lake Tahoe. My vacation is almost over so will be getting back to checking out your photos soon.
