Lake Tahoe area Nov. 26-28 2008

Usually, I visit the Lake Tahoe area in January for a solo weekend retreat of photography and adventure. This year, with my wife, Donna, away with friends in Hawaii, I ventured to Tahoe on Thanksgiving weekend. Though the snow was sparse, the lake and its surroundings remain magical.
