Aspen Leaves
Lake Tahoe, California
On an early morning hike and photo excursion near Lake Tahoe's Emerald Bay, I was struck by the way the sun was shining through the Fall-colored aspen leaves. The contrast of the shadowed leaves and branches against the sunlit leaves make this my favorite aspen image.

The breathtakingly blue of Lake Tahoe is so clear that in some places objects can be seen to depths of 75 feet. The reason the lake is so blue is that the thin, clear mountain air allows the lake's pure, crystalline water to reflect the blue sky above. The lake can also appear red during sunsets or gray-black during storms. Lake Tahoe is 22 miles in length, 12 miles in width and has a max depth of 1,645 feet!
