It's good to get out in the morning.

Yesterday morning I stopped by the South Lake Tahoe Farmer's Market, which I love to do when I'm up here. I didn't take any pictures this time, but I did find some wonderful things...Cranberry Walnut Sour Dough Bread from a Sacramento bread company...I forget the exact name. My favorite olive oil company, Winterhill Farms, had a booth, so I purchased some of their wonderful oil. My favorite cheese shop, Deidrick's Cheese company, also had a booth. As I had found a wonderful, huge, fresh bunch of basil, I purchased some pine nuts and some manchego cheese from Deidrick's. It's time to make some fresh pesto.


Anyway, it was the first day of blue sky in the Tahoe basin for several weeks. So, after I packed my Farmer's Market purchases in the car, I drove over to Tahoe Keys Marina to see what might be going on. I saw an advertisement for some sort of "Cool Woodie Boat Show" going on this weekend somewhere here on the south shore, but I didn't see any sign of old wooden boats in the Keys.

At any rate, as I was driving home I really wanted to take a photo of the lovely blue sky, but the lighting was a little yukkie and I didn't think a photo would highlight the sky very well.



However, I did spy this little scene in one of the "Keys" as I was leaving Tahoe Keys and thought it would make a fairly decent photo. (The Keys are like little waterways and inlets designed so that homeowners have boat access to Lake Tahoe right from their homes.)

No, the photo is not upside down. The sky, mountains and trees are a reflection in the key, but for some magical reason I was able to expose it so I got a nice reflection of the blue sky, which is what I wanted.

Sometimes I wish I knew what I was doing instead of just getting lucky.
