#Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley is afraid to return to his own district that he no longer represents in any tangible way.
Julie Brown Davis: Tahoe residents are calling their congressman every day. He won't answer. After facing pressure, Congressman Kiley will host a virtual town hall next week.

SFGate: 'There is literally no one': The fallout coming to Lake Tahoe after forest service gutted

It’s finally snowing in the Sierra again. What a relief. We desperately need the mountain snow and valley rain

I really think that chipmunks are fantastic little animals. I'm not sure why, maybe because of how cute they are. I found this one on a trail near Lake Tahoe.
I like the background in this image. I chose a wide aperture for this image to blur the background that happened to be a large redwood. I just thought that the contrast between big and small was fitting for this.

I've been missing my sister.
She was supposed to visit me in Europe, but then had another kid, and hasn't. Kid turned out sorta cute, but it poops a lot.
This is from when I visited her in Tahoe, almost a year ago. Being so far from family can be rough sometimes, especially around holidays.
How do you reforest an area burned by wildfire? One of the steps is harvesting seed from existing trees. Learn more about what's involved when re-foresting pine forests in the #Tahoe area in #california

Did you know many harmful #invasive species are #zooplankton? A less known one is Mysis diluviana, one of our study organisms native to the #GreatLakes.

In other systems, Mysids can have major ecosystem level effects as predators of herbivorous plankton. They were introduced intentionally to several systems as "trout food" in the 1960s (Lake #Tahoe, Flathead Lake), fundamentally changing the #foodweb and ecosystem.

An out-of-season picture of the day, throwing back to a winter visit to Tahoe in 2015, the first time we could be in real snow for Christmas time since we moved out to northern California in 2010.
