So, last year, for my birthday, we took a belated celebratory trip up to Lake Alpine to explore the beautiful scenery. It is near Bear Valley, which is a popular 'escape' town, up in the Central Sierra Mountains. I say
belated, because we had planned to do this closer to the weekend of my
actual birthday, but since we ended up getting rear-ended on the day before, we ran into this unexpected delay. Anyway, here are the photos from that excursion!
 |
| These first few photos were from the Hell's Kitchen Vista Point, where you can walk around and get some amazing views. This area is really pretty when it's covered in snow also!! |
 |
| Just trying to get a unique perspective among the scenery... |
 |
| Obligatory couple "selfie"! =D |
 |
| Such pretty views! I actually have a similar shot of this area, but covered in snow, taken back in February 2010. |

| Practicing my macro skills with this interesting branch formation... |
 |
| Panorama shot, with Jacques being silly. |
 |
| Seriously, I could not get enough of this area! |
 |
| Here's the start of the pictures at Lake Alpine, walking around the area. This was very serene and peaceful! |

| Another peaceful shot of the lake in between the trees. |

| Catching some canoe-ers rowing down the lake! |

| I liked this view of that log lodged in with the water... |
 |
| Can you find the pup in this shot?! :) |
