Lake Shasta Dam

When we visited Lake Shasta Dam they were doing maintenance on the interior, so we couldn't go inside. But, it was a gorgeous day, and the scenery was beautiful.   

Weaverville Saw Mill

We went to Weaverville's Trinity County Museum where we chanced upon an old, functioning saw mill. Their museum has got to be one of the strangest I've ever been too. We wandered around a building and its grounds without any expectations, because there were no brochures, maps, or tour guides. Items weren't so much curated as they were stockpiled. It was as if they were still amassing items for their museum, and they had not  finished the exhibits. The plus side was that we could really look at and interact with whatever we found. These photos are the result of no one preventing me from getting all up close and personal with a "Portable American No. 1 Saw Mill." 

Albino Deer Sighting

We saw an albino deer while visiting Redding, CA. My boyfriend, his mom, and I went and stayed with my parents last week. Just down the road from their house is a field where this herd of deer like to hang out. According to my parent's neighbors there is a new albino fawn each year. It's incredible and perfectly normal at the same time. I love how the mama was fiercely protective and shielded her baby from view when she saw me hanging around for too long. I'd probably have better shots if I weren't wearing a red sweater, but it was an impromptu photo session.
