Last Light Lake Tahoe
It's pretty amazing how fast the sun drops in the sky when your in the mountains. One minute I was relaxing with my wife, we were commenting on a wedding that was taking place down the beach away.

Some photos from the hike today too. It was a lot of fun, but was also a new tail to us, and once the sun went down was kinda hard to follow. We made it alright, but the second half also involved a bit of boulder climbing, which I could have done without.

“Patience”
One of my favorite bears as she always views me with gentle curiosity. Here she waits for the salmon to move just a little bit closer…
