Robin

This bird has made a nest on top of the light on the left side of the garage entrance. I plan to restain the house this summer but now I'm going to have to wait until this family moves on.

Hey robin!

Evening Hike

Took Sam for a short hike last night behind our house about 2 miles to a view spot overlooking the Truckee River and Hwy 89 North between Truckee and Tahoe City. He needed the excercise as he doesn't get to go along on all the road bike rides I do.

Sam enjoying the view with his good eye.
