4 lakes about 45 minutes from home

Bear Lake



Nymph Lake



Dream Lake (with flare)



And Emerald Lake



A perfect day for hiking . . . even at my age.

I've been to Emerald lake, very beautiful. I can't wait for the day when I can travel out west and through the mountains again.

Wow beautiful scenery - would love to see it in person. The other part of the rockies ... nicely done.

[gawan]

Superb scenery! I am sure I would like it there, if only some day!

Great shots, really like #3 (dream lake)

[Maffer]

Oh my! Dream and Emerald scenes look superb. In fact so much that I just had an urge to go for a swim in the nearby lake here (well not so bright idea, water temperature ~12 Celcius and pitch black out there).

Great shots


I really like the first one ... my type of shot with the hanging branches.

2 and 3 are great. Want to be there. Love the sky in 2 on the water amongst the lilies, with 3 it's definately all about the geography. Those stones in the foreground, the ?snow? (or white rock more likely) on the mountain in the pass, the sightline between the two. Cool.

See, I'd like them hang over the sky, not the scenery, myself, but to each their own.

beautifull part of the world to live in... at least that how it seems from the pics, they are nicely done...

Beautiful images Lawrence, thanks for posting them. Never too old to hike, look at me. But OH, apparently I have trouble walking on level ground. LOL

Take care,

[Dr Windmill]

Thanks to all for the comments.

MrA, yes, that's snow up high, and more may come this weekend. The couple to the left in the last image were returning from a large icy patch just over the ridge. She made pictures of him sitting in the middle of the snow for the folks back home. I suggested that he would now be known as "cold butt" . . . she seemed to like that idea more than he, although he did say that was appropriate, given how he felt at the moment. Seemed like a good idea before they made the picture, but not after. LOL.

[khardur]

wow you are so fortunate to live so close to such beautiful vistas. Those pics are great.

[cupic]

Dream Lake It most certainly is


cheers

Beautiful shots, they bring on an urge to set up my fly rod....

[Jimbo]

Very nice and that area has a great picture every 10 feet... JIMBO
