Tranquil Tuesday
#VisitCZ @VisitCZ
Today’s photo may look tranquil, but in reality the moment wasn’t. Thunder was cracking and lightning was soon about to begin. A downpour ensued on one of the most interesting evenings I’ve ever encountered.

First (and maybe last?) sunset of current Hawaii trip
We’ve been in Hawaii for a few days now. We are staying on the east side of Oahu so we don’t normally see sunsets like these (although we do get to see the sun rise). A couple nights ago we happened to be in Honolulu just as the sun was setting when I captured this image.

Manzanita Lake @ Lassen Volcanic National Park

For some, unknown reason I have spent more than 40 years of my life within 5 hours of Lassen Volcanic National Park (most of the last 17 years less than 3 hours away) and yet I had never been there (before last week). What was I thinking?
I’ve been to Yosemite many times, but in some ways Lassen is better. For starters, the crowds are far smaller.
Manzanita Lake blew me away. I couldn’t get enough of it. The views from the lake change drastically as you walk around it, and they also are quite different as the day progresses. It didn’t hurt that we had thunderstorms for brief moments each day. Pre- and post-storm clouds over the lake were awesome.
More photos of Lassen and Manzanita Lake coming soon…
