    We went up to Lake Tahoe, California for a few days, and stayed at my Sister and her Husband's Vacation Home there, and this morning Sat. 07/20/19, I went to the Flea Market off of Pioneer Trail Rd. and found these three different pieces of Glass and a few other things. 1st I saw the Orange Vase, and knew that my Wife would like it, but the price was a little high, so I told the seller that I'd think about it, but bought a Pottery Wall Pocket that interested me. The Blue and White Opalescent Basket, I think is Murano, and I got it for 1/2 of what the Seller wanted, a nice price! After walking around the Flea Market, I started back to the first Dealer, but the Red Separated Dish caught my eye and I couldn't turn down the price! When I got back to the Orange Vase, I asked the Seller if She could any better, and She dropped the price 20%, and I bought it! My Wife loved it! :^D The last photo is of Pyramid Peak, from in front of my Sister's Home on Needle Peak Rd. South Shore Tahoe. It was a nice stay, and a beautiful day, for our trip back home, over the Sierra Nevada Mountains, earlier than I really wanted, but beats the traffic, of a Sunday drive! :^D

    Thanks for looking, I'll be back, after we get back home! All comments are welcome! :^)

      We made it back home safe, and our Cat Peaches scolded us, for leaving, then thanked us, for coming back to her! :^D

      Thanks Jenni, my friend that also has a place up a Tahoe, hasn't had much luck at the Flea Market, so it was nice to find these! :^D Needle Peak Rd. is named that, because of the View of Needle Peak, but it's all the way across the Tahoe Valley, from the Road, that's just a few blocks down, from Heavenly Ski Resort.

      It is Beautiful, and still a lot of Snow, at over ten thousand feet high though! :^D
      I really think that's my favorite too, the other two were for my Wife!

      Thank you both for your comments, and much thanks to you all for the love that you gave,

      I'm sorry I said Needle Peak was over ten thousand, but it's just under nine thousand, here's some information about Needle Peak:

      Thanks for looking! :^)

      I'm sorrier! The Mountain Peak that you see from Needle Peak Rd. is:

      Pyramid Peak

      Elevation: 3042 m / 9983 ft
      Fly on a Tour

      Pyramid Peak is a mountain in the California's Sierra Nevada within the Crystal Range and to the west of Lake Tahoe. It is the highest point in the Desolation Wilderness. With an elevation gain of almost 4,100 feet, the Rocky Canyon route is the mountain's most popular approach although it is very arduous. To the east, at the base of the peak, lies Pyramid Lake.

      I hope this helps! :^D
      I got this information from Google Earth, looking west down Needle Peak Rd. Needle Peak is near Squaw Valley Ski Resort, just north of Lake Tahoe! :^)
