Disneyland Halloween 2013

I've always wanted to see Disneyland when it was decorated for Halloween. I have been many times but this is the first time during Halloween. My kids had a chance to trick or treat during Micky's Halloween Party. During the night we had a chance to see the barber shop quartet sing special Halloween songs while painted like ghosts drifting on a raft on smoke cover water. We also had a chance to see a special parade and fireworks show. The night shot of the front gate I did not get shot of the side that had Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck. I don't know how I missed but, it must of been all the excitement there was so much to see.

This Old House

I found this old house on California Route 267 just outside Truckee California. I doubt we will see it on an episode of This Old House soon, but what a location. When we went back to the car my Daughter stayed there. I was afraid I was going to have to pull her suite case out of the car, but can you blame her with all the beautiful aspens with their fall color.

Sand Harbor Lake Tahoe

This is Sand Harbor in Lake Tahoe, the first two and the last two images are slightly different compositions. I have wanted to go there ever since I rode Flume Trail about 10 years ago and saw the view of all the sand turquoise water from above.

Bella Vista Sul Lago Tahoe Vista

My family and I were lucky enough to spend a few days at Bella Vista Sul Lago (beautiful view of the lake) in Tahoe Vista while I photographed the house. The owners hosted my sister's wedding at one of their other house's Bella Vista Della Valle (Beautiful View of the Valley). My family thanks you for all the great hospitality, we had a wonderful weekend and a great time at my sister's wedding.
