Mt Rose photos added Tuesday 17 Jul.
After visiting Genoa earlier in the day on 8 July I drove up NV207 to Zephyr Cove and Nevada Beach, where I luckily got the last spot in the USFS campground since someone left a day early.
After walking part-way to the beach from the campground I returned to my camper for a hat since the wind was beginning to pick up. As a result, this 1st photo is slighltly after sunset.
I turned and took this shot down the SE shore of Lake Tahoe at or near Zephyr Cove.
Panning right, this view is toward the California town or city of South Lake Tahoe as well as the Sierra Nevada Range to the south.
Panning right there are still a few rays of sunlight on the Sierras.
Panning farther right, it appears this couple is looking at their iPhone or digital camera; prior to that they were trying to convince a Canadian Goose, a gander, to "take a hike," but the goose bowed his neck and stood his ground.
Panning right I returned to the spot where the sun has just set. There were a few small clouds just above where the sun had been, but they're barely visible.
Panning right yet again, the Nevada (or east) shore of Tahoe appears.
Another unamed wildflower which, if memory serves, is in Sierra Nevada Natural History by Storer and Usinger. [Incidentally, two previously unidentified photos taken while driving through Oregon and Central Nevada were on a wall poster in the Truckee Library next to the stairwell for the iron circular stairs; they were, in Oregon, Creeping Phlox, and in Nevada, a Prickly Poppy.]
From NV431, the Incline Village to Mt Rose to Reno road.
Panning right the huge size of Lake Tahoe doesn't quite fit in this photo.
Likely Dollar Point rather than Stateline Point.
A closeup of the golf courses in Kings Beach and/or Brockaway, CA, as well as one high-rise hotel.
