My first grandson and I went up to Tahoe yesterday to celebrate his 24th birthday and were lucky enough to spot this sow and her three cubs near the road. WOW what a wonderful surprise. Thanks to Bradon for the quick camera work from the car window.

The rain isn't bringing wildflowers yet but it is bringing us these amazing displays of fungi. These were found under a very large Valley Oak in Northern CA. Would love to know what kind they are.
