a place to visit.
It is home.

Happy Earth Day.

We drove up to the Sierra mountains yesterday. We wanted to see the snow, the Truckee River, Donner Lake, the Rainbow Bridge and all the pines. It was a beautiful day. Nice on Black.

The Sierra mountains and the lakes are only 90 minutes from where we live so we take day trips often. It is an entire different world there and the air/trees smell so good. Nature is wonderful.

This is an awesome photo of Donner with the snow covered Sierras in the background.

[CC Folk]

@shutterbug49 Thank you. We always enjoy driving up to the mountains for the day to smell the pines and see the lakes and rivers. We eat at our favorite spots for lunch and enjoy a different world. There is still snow on the mountain tops but I thought there were would be even more.
