It's Summer: Officially

     Solstice= Summer.  Here we are-summer 2014.   Green grass, wild flowers, bees,  bears, coyotes, mountain lions.  Lest we forget: jet skis, ski boats with skiers attached, bikes on the highways, beaches packed, restaurants busy, campers, camp grounds full, hikers on the trails, sun burn.  Tour boats, party boats, ferry boats, kayaks, inflatables.  Oh, and joggers a plenty.
Next up 4th of July.

Drones over Lake Tahoe
      Yes, at various locations.  The  Tahoe Environmental Research Center(TERC) at Sierra Nevada College is producing a new film in 3-D to look at organisms within the lake environment.  Steve Andersen of Omnidual Media is managing filming and post production of the film.  It is being financed by National Science Foundation and developed in partnership with UC Davis, UC Berkeley Lawrence Hall of Science, ECHO Lake Aquarium Ctr, and Audience Viewpoints Consulting.  The film, " Let's Go Jump  in the Lake",  is scheduled for release this summer.
     The film will feature underwater photography and animation features created by Andersen.  So, if you see multi-engine drones (UAV's) over the lake: don't panic, it's not NSA/CIA, it's science in action.
