Around Folsom Lake

I am just leaving California today, so I was able to explore a bit of the area with my nieces. Here Michelle, Jeanie and I are walking in the hills near where Jeanie lives on the southeast side of Folsom Lake.

It’s a very pretty area…

with lots of trails. Jeanie usually bikes these on her mountain bike, but since she fell and broke her clavicle she’s walking.

And Michelle and I were happy to walk with her.

Yesterday morning we took a stroll on the walking path Judy used every day she could. She lived on the southwest side of Folsom Lake and Michelle has been staying there. Cheryl, Chayse and I joined her there.

In the afternoon I had a real treat as Jeanie took me to the Acorn Trailhead and we walked some of her and Scott’s favorite biking trails.

What beautiful country, and there’s been rain lately so everything is green; not the norm here.

This area is on the northeast side of the lake. It’s hills and pasture…

with some very large cows.

I took my usual landscape shots…

and because Jeanie was along we got some selfies.

Thank you Michele, Jeanie and Cheryl for being such wonderful hosts. You are your mother’s daughters, to be sure.
