South Fork American
October 5th, 2008
With my family gone for the week on their annual “coast trip”, no adult males invited (did I say that before?), I figured that I had better get out and do some photographing while I had the chance. So after work one day, I drove up Hwy 50 towards Tahoe looking for some fall colors. I knew of a place along the South Fork American River that had some pretty fall colors from last year, and I had it on my list of places to go for this year. I found the place all right, but I guess I was about a week or two early to see a great display of colors. I took a photo anyway, since I had driven all the way up there. It is a nice little spot right along the highway, and it was close to sunset, so the light shining on the trees was nice and warm. I’m going to try to return here next week when the colors will be a little better.
Very nice shot…I love the blurred reflections in the water.
Did you go hiking at all after this first rainstorm we had? I went to a local park and was happy to see the mosses bright green and the dust out of the air. I can’t wait until the real storms start up again…waterfall season!

Thanks parsec. No, I did not get out this weekend. Too busy. I can’t wait for waterfall season either.
