Yesterday we passed a car show on our explorations in South Lake Tahoe. The show was also to go on today, so we planned to visit as part of our day. Carol contacted our mutual friend, Cabby, and arranged to meet her there to take pictures and have lunch. We don't see Cabby in person often as often as we would like, but we do like to read her blog and see her photographs. At 10 am, Chris, Carol, CJ and I arrived at the car show at Heavenly Village to find only three cars on display. As we waited for Cabby, we took some pictures and a couple more cars arrived.

Cabby called saying she was in the Raley's parking lot and Carol walked over to guide her back to our location. It was great to see Cabby, and we had lots of catching up to do. More cars arrived and we all spent some time photographing them. The sun was up and very bright, giving harsh shadows and making the photography difficult. After several minutes we gathered again and headed towards a close by Mexican restaurant. CJ and I split the special Philly Steak quesadilla and a couple of street tacos - a delicious combination.

After lunch and goodbyes to Cabby, we headed off towards Zepher Cove. We wanted to visit one more spot before calling it an early day. I missed the turn off so we continued to Cave Rock and checked out the boat launch ramp parking lot. There was a nice beach at the end with a small curve and blue water. But overall it was fairly plain and we left soon.

Still not ready to call it quits we drove on until we found an area with several aspen trees showing turning leaves. We parked, got our camera gear and walked to the trees. The aspen were mixed in with the pine trees and the sun made the leaves stand out. It looked wonderful and soon other cars were stopping so people could take pictures too. After a while, I noticed a small pond through the trees that had some nice reflections. That discovery proved to give CJ and I our best pictures.
