I walk my neighborhood every day with a dog at the end of a leash. It’s really too early to take photos, so I’ve enlarged my stomping grounds and take my camera on photo outings. But, last week, I found a new neighborhood: Rollins Lake in the Sierra Foothills.
I don’t think Tina will mind if I show you the small campground I walked Gem through several times a day. We camped, or should I say glamped, with another couple. Both of us have RVs. The season just ended and we had the campground to ourselves.




Although mostly overcast, the weather was great. We were even treated to a pre-rain rainbow.

We did climb into the truck to see the boat launch and lake.




I hope my temporary neighborhood qualifies for Tina’s wonderful challenge. I’m excited to see your neighborhoods. Please remember to link to Tina’s post when you respond and use the Lens-Artist tag. Last week Egidio prompted us to show how we have fun. It was a delight to see all your posts.
I’ll be in San Jose for two weeks caring for a dear friend. I’m sure I will be able to enjoy your posts, but I’m not sure about generating my own. My laptop doesn’t have enough memory to handle processing programs. Take care everyone!
Oh my, I love California views. What a great post and idea you had, Anne! This campground seems lovely. I enjoy going to parks on weekdays because I can have the place nearly empty.

An amazing walk Anne, beautifully captured. Of course the rainbow is wonderful but I especially loved the old building image. I was going to call it a barn but wasn’t sure that’s what it was! Excellent read!!

Thanks Tina! I’m not sure what that building was. It’s probably a storage shed. The ranger’s house was near it.

Looks like a beautiful neighborhood even if temporary. We do miss our RV and camping days. Hotels just aren’t the same experience as a campground.

Yes it was PR. Our walks were so quiet since we were the only ones in the campground. I’m sure in the season, the area would be full of young families.

Oh, how beautiful the Rollins Lake campground is, Anne! Camping somewhere counts as a neighborhood, in my book 🙂 I can’t believe we never visited there all the years we lived in Sac. Autumn camping is always such a treat with fewer crowds.

It was a nice small campground with full hookups (The glamping part.). I’m not sure I’d enjoy it in the summer. It would seem too crowded.
