If By NightEastern Sierras, California She reined in to a stop before the mountain, which appeared to glow brighter than the rest, even under the full moon. She looked down at the crumpled parchment in her hand. The message read: "If by night, the path will be bright. Tarry not, and be here by morning". This had to be the crossing. All signs pointed to it. She took a deep breath and urged her horsenbeast forward. He snorted, then dug in for the long climb. It would be an eventful night.
IceFallsnear Reno, NV In stillness... movement. In chill... warmth. In falling... soft landings. In a moment... a lifetime. There are always dichotomies and contrasts, with their constant opportunity to See Things Different.
The UddercicleDonner Lake, Truckee, CA Because I couldn't resist naming this... that.
Banking On a Glimpse Of YouLake Tahoe, CA When will I see you? When will you float into view? You were right to leave me leashed up here. For surely I would swim to find you. Woof. Stare. Shift. Pant.
Misty For You Donner Lake, CA You're like a memory. A feel-good, life-was-never-better moment... That lasted a day, a week, a lifetime. Only here. And now. You're like an imaginary past, blended to perfection with dreamed-about future. Making Now with you the most miraculous place to be.

The Icy Rush of Missing TeethTruckee River, California Even rock sharks with icy diamond teeth have issues sometimes. heh.
RiverPopon the Truckee River, NV The frozen confectionary section that morning was bursting with new treats. There was Shaved Ice, Rock Ice, Ice Crowns and Snow Cones. But when she saw there was one last RiverPop... oh, it had her name written all over it! She tugged her mother's skirt, looked up and focused the full hypnotic power of doe-eyed wonder and said "Pleeeeeease?" without ever uttering a word (you would have been powerless, trust me). It was the best RiverPop ever.
