We haven’t seen Jimi in such a long time, so we decided to go up to Tahoe to see him. We rented a place in the Tahoe Keys & drove up for the 3 day weekend. Because of the Rim Fire in Yosemite the air was a bit smoky but not nearly as bad as …

Lightning
Sandy casually mentioned to me that there was a lightning storm tonight. I ran out as quickly as I could and for ½ an hour stood out in the backyard and took 155 shots. Only 9 captures but this one is the best.
