      Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

Hi,

You have a class selector tag "." before the body selector.

This isn't required for element selectors such as body, div, h1, p etc.

Remove the period at the start of body. the body tag is not a class. all you need is body{text-align:center;}
