We were hiking in Lake Tahoe a few weeks ago on the Rubicon Train (DL Bliss State Park) and came across these teen-agers jumping off big rocks into the lake.  The joy of being young and fearless!

I love how the deep blue color of the lake comes through in these photos.  What you can’t tell, however, is how cold the water is (hint: very).
