Dog Day

On Sunday the pups and I went out to Dog Valley, northwest of Reno, and lounged in the sun and shade of this amazing valley. It really wasn't much of an adventure—I took my journal and a book and even drew a little on the machine (not exactly my talent, but oh well, I have fun)—but it is such a pleasure to just spend a day quietly with the pups on a sunny spring day.

I love passing the old California Trail markers out in the woods of Dog Valley. The wagon trail didn't go up the Truckee Canyon to Truckee as I-80 does now, but up this valley (which makes sense, but is interesting nonetheless)

A drawing done electronically. I added the pine tree in the middle afterward because it seemed to be missing something, but doesn't really fit in to the rest of the drawing. But oh well.
