Fallen Leaf Lake


Notice how this rock is embedded in the tree roots.



























A few weekends ago we went camping at Fallen Leaf Lake up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Lake Tahoe. I hiked to the lake one morning very early and became fascinated with all the upturned tree roots on the shores of the lake. It was dawn and the lighting was so gorgeous.

It looks beautiful. I'll be with Rose at the spa, though.

JoJo said...

Bee-you-tee-ful. I have a shot of Fallen Leaf Lake but taken from up above, on the highway!! I love Tahoe, it's such a beautiful area. But I hear that the clarity of the lake is getting worse each year.

Yes, you enjoy your camping; I'll be at the nearest hotel. lol

Jacob said...

Hey, that rock isn't embedded in the roots. No, that tree is enfolding the rock. Sheesh. Venus. Mars. Why must it always be thus? Sigh.....

lol

hugs,

Great captures, by the way. You always deliver. And usually stand, I'm sure, as well.

Claire said...

Jacob said...

I'd never heard of Fallen Leaf Lake. Looks beautiful.

Gorgeous. I like the name 'Fallen Leaf Lake' - very descriptive. Did those trees fall over from old age, or because fo disease?

Claire said...

BD -I drove across Kansas once. It was really, really flat as I recall.

gawpo- lol

diesel -it's up in the Sierras near Lake Tahoe.

EOH -I tried to find out. No luck so far. I'll bet it's a combination of weather, disease and old age. But it is weird cuz there are so many of them along the shoreline. Maybe the lake has increased in size over time ??

I think that what you said made a ton of sense. But, what about this?
what if you wrote a catchier post title? I mean,
I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added a post title that grabbed folk's attention?
I mean "Fallen Leaf Lake" is kinda vanilla.
You might look at Yahoo's home page and watch how they write news headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a pic or two to grab people interested about what you've written.
In my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.
