the colors of tahoe
Monday, July 14, 2025We spent the last part of June on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. June just happens to be one of my favorite times there. The air is crisp in the mornings and the evenings. The afternoons are warm but not too warm. The colors are vibrant. And, the crowds are low!
I finished my Free Style Tee (photos coming soon!) and Easy Ruffle Socks while there. The hat I packed was my Oslo hat. I thought it would be perfect for early morning hikes and swims. (The water is 57°, too cold for me to swim for exercise but still cold enough for cold plunging. )
I waited until the last morning to snap some photos and was so very grateful that Liesl agreed to wake at 7am to be my model.

I did not plan to match the colors of Tahoe. But was so pleased while looking at my camera roll and noticing the colors of my knits matched the scenery.
