Donner Lake through the trees
Beautiful day in the Sierras

Pioneer Memorial at Donner Memorial State Park, dedicated to the Donner party, depicts a man, woman and child gazing west as they stand high atop a tall stone pedestal. Behind them on this day, framed by pine trees, are magnificent snow-dusted mountains.
have a seat, but maybe not here. This bench is covered in heavy snow that reaches above & beyond the seating area!
Donner Lake sparkles in late afternoon winter sunshine. Mountains rise up from the lake, covered with snow and trees. The deep blue sky is scudded with white clouds.

Some of my favorite rocks in all of #California. #DonnerSummit with #DonnerLake and the #trainTunnels. It's a place where I've spent a lot of time, mental and emotional energy and most recently helped out at the #DonnerPartyHike event.
Beautiful + harsh.
I love foggy mornings at the lake. Donner Lake, CA, June 2025.

Like coyotes and raccoons, Canada geese adapt well to human environments. Including my yard and dock. Almost every morning I chase off a crรจche of geese and clean up the poop theyโve left behind. I have to admit, though, they can be quite beautiful.

The most dramatic sunset I've ever witnessed. Thanks to my wife for seeing the potential and speeding us home in time for me to grab my camera and run out to the doc.

Donner Lake on a peaceful cold winter morning. The water is glass, no movement at all, and the snowy cabins across the lake are all reflecting in the water with the pine tree and snow covered mountains behind them.
Winter at Donner Lake.

A large granite boulder sits on top of a small hill of rocks and rubble. The grey granite dominates the lower half of the photo with small highlights of green scrub. A green and black Ponderosa pine in the left center touches some shreds of white clouds in a brilliant blue sky.
