We strolled to the lakeshore, in blustery wind, just to get some Tahoe on us.
It is a total Bluebird Day. Bluebird is a distinctly American term for “a period of time characterized by sunny, cloudless weather, typically after a night of snowfall,” the term seems to be most popularly used in skiing, but there are examples of its usage in the hunting world as well. Its origin is completely unknown, and could refer to something as simple as the color of the sky, to the inherent cultural meaning of bluebirds as happiness and hope. I love that meaning... happiness and hope.The National Weather Service in Reno has extended their Red Flag Warning for the Lake Tahoe Basin through tomorrow. The gusty winds and low humidity have lead to increased fire danger. Those conditions can cause fire to grow quickly and get stronger and put first responders on the defense. During a Red Flag Warning, no flames are allowed in the City limits.Our neighborhood nature was putting on a show as well.This coyote, and his mate, were trolling for, we think, our neighbor's sweet 10-week-old lab puppy. It has happened here before.
A sign that winter is coming is seeing this guy wandering through our neighborhood.

A bear?! So cool! Both the bear and the coyote look super healthy.
It must be all that Tahoe air and Tahoe water.
