Water and ice

Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is always, always stunningly beautiful. And the water is so clear! I walked out to the end of a pier and could see very clearly the rocks at the bottom. Click the photos for more.

I went for a run the morning after my little ski excursion. Donner Lake is the site of my favorite triathlon, which features a run around the entire lake (it's just under 7 miles), so I thought it would be very interesting to do that run in winter. The temperatures were in the 30s, perfect for running. What with slogging through quite a bit of snow at the east end of the lake, the run took me about 30 minutes longer than usual. (I also added half a mile to a mile getting to and from my hotel).

Ice skaters

Then I went to take pictures of ice skaters on Donner Lake. The next day, Friday morning, an ice skater fell through this ice and drowned.

Stay off the thin ice, my friends.
