I am a native Californian and Truckee resident. While I've had the opportunity to travel and take photographs in many countries, I enjoy shooting in my local environment the most. I hope my photographs illustrate the rich biodiversity of our area and the vibrant community that makes Truckee so unique. Many of my featured photos were taken in my own back yard, which borders the Tahoe National Forest above Downtown Truckee. Please visit my webite at imagesbydougjones.photoshelter.com.
