One morning we got up super early to make it out before the crowds and the heat. We'd heard there was a castle on the beach looking out on the little island so we thought that would be a fun hike to take. We had the trails to ourselves and we got to explore with only a few park rangers in site. It was a neat European "castle" with a courtyard and a beautiful view over the lake. Somebody a long time ago had a wonderful privaledge of waking up in the morning to see the awe and wonder of Gods creation that would make anybody jealous. We walked around the castle and then out on the dock. We talked on the phone with some family and watched an elderly man swim out to the island in the frigid water. I guess this gentleman is known for swimming there and back every morning. We were surprised. It was the perfect day for coming down to this part of the lake.
We came across this huge tree that had obviously rotted out in the inside and had to be filled with cement so it didn't fall. We'd never seen anything like this before. I thought I would paint some sort of mural in the inside of the tree telling the story of lake Tahoe.

I have never heard of someone filling a tree with cement. Why? It is very unique and I like you idea. I think I should suggest it to them with you as the only artist who could do it justice since you are the one who came up with it. Maybe you could spend the summer in the mansion completeing it. And be paid a huge commission.We can always dream!
The mansion is beautiful. A different kind of place to retreat to.
