Find Beauty, continued.

I spent some time in Tahoe over the holidays, and while we were initially disappointed at the utter lack of snow, we had a fantastic time.  We were able to explore the area much more than we ever have before, and discovered some lovely parks and trails.  We also discovered that my four-year-old can hike much, much farther than we ever suspected… so, after a hiatus of some years, whole new worlds are opening up to us once again.

Few things make me happier than getting away to a new place and spending time simply exploring with my camera.  This foray was mostly about getting close in on nature.  But it almost doesn’t matter what the photos look like, or if I ever do anything with them; it’s about the journey, the experience, and the seeking of beauty in expected and unexpected places.  As it turns out, though, there are a handful of images from this most recent haul that I like very much.
