Our Christmas tradition is to enjoy the (so far) inevitable few days of gorgeous California Christmas weather to scour the American River canyon for trash and bring back as much as we can carry.  We have no problem finding plenty of cans, bottles, towels, flip-flops and sunglasses.

The light in the canyon was amazing this year – here’s a quick panorama I took.  Dare you to find any trash in there ;-).

It’s been a busy fall – not much time for taking pictures.  Or uploading them promptly!  Now that we’re in vacation mode, I’m looking through some of this falls photos.  Here’s a small set from a hike with family members up to Donner Peak in early September.  Some amazing rock formations…

Watching the clouds pattern the hills with softly rolling patches. Recorded 27 December 2008.
