I confess, I’m a bit of a photography junkie. I myself have a marginal point and shoot camera, so I stand in awe of those with good camera equipment and know how to use it.
Our neck of the woods offers no small amount of scenic photo ops, so I thought I’d share a couple of my favorite photographers who inspire me with their stunning shots. Follow them on facebook to have their beautiful photos in your daily news feed, or go to their websites to contact them directly for more information.

Our very own contributing writer Tim Hauserman has a new book out. Geared towards children, but designed to be enjoyable for adults as well, ‘Gertrude’s Tahoe Adventures in Time’ is an introduction to the natural history of Lake Tahoe and how it came to be the incredible place we enjoy today.
The book tells the story of Gertrude, a Tahoe girl who meets a magical maiden who takes her on a fast motion adventure through the history of Lake Tahoe. They watch glaciers march, volcanoes erupt and exotic animals graze, all while the two become forever friends.
Illustrated by Jess Bechtelheimer, the book’s artwork is charming, vividly colorful and whimsical…everything you want in a children’s book. It’s obvious that the book is a heartfelt labor of love by both Tim and Jess and was designed to share with everyone this beautiful area we are all so grateful and lucky to call ‘home’.
Both Tim and Jess will be available to sign copies of this wonderful book on the following dates:
August 13, at The Bookshelf in Truckee – 6pm
August 14, at Grassroots Books in Reno – from 10:30am-12:30pm – AND Truckee Thursday from 4-6pm
August 15, at Ruffles and Roughnecks in Tahoe City – from 11am-1pm
August 16, at Sundance Books in Reno – from 3-4:30pm
The book is also available for purchase at The Bookshelf in Truckee, Ruffles and Roughnecks, The Store and The North Lake Tahoe Visitor’s Center in Tahoe City, Tahoe Mountain Sports in Kings Beach, Sundance Books and Grass Roots Books in Reno, or online.
AND…be sure to get a copy of Tim’s other books:
Tahoe Rim Trail: The Official Guide for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians.
Monsters in the Woods: Backpacking with Children
Cross-Country Skiing in the Sierra Nevada.

I hope you are all enjoying your summer. There is so much to do and see here during our brief but glorious season that we want to make sure you don’t miss a thing. Here on my Lake Tahoe and Truckee Lifestyle blog, I am always trying to improve the site’s usefulness and provide you with timely information.
Toward that end, please note that I have added new sections to the blog:

1) ‘Events Calendar’ page. We can’t always do a feature article on ALL of the current happenings on the main page, especially during the summer, (I’ve got real estate to sell!) but I do want to keep you informed. The new page will be updated as we come across events in the area, so do check the page often.
.
2) I’ve added a “Categories’ section on the left hand column to help you find specific information on articles we’ve written . For example, say you’re interested in popular hikes in the area. Those would be under the ‘Summer Recreation’ link. Some items will be under multiple categories and hopefully the information is categorized intuitively. You can also use the ‘Search’ box located right above the categories section.

3) I’ve also added a ‘Local Services’ area on the left column. These are people or companies I’ve done business with that offer services that you may need.
Real Estate
4) There is also a page for my current real estate listings. The page includes a brief synopsis of each property, with a link to my website which has more in depth information on those properties.

5) Since I am busy selling real estate, I’ve brought in some help on the blog. I’d like to introduce you to Tim Hauserman and Michelle Portesi. Both have been contributing writers to the blog already, but as I couldn’t possibly keep up with my ‘day job’ and write all these articles and calendar events, I’ve asked them to help me keep the blog updated. Their stories are located below my information on the ‘About’ page.
I hope you will find these changes make for a more pleasurable browsing experience on my blog. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment.
