A couple of shots from Sequoia-Kings Canyon (4 pics, not small)

Just got back from a week of lake-hopping in the back-country of SEKI National Park, and thought I'd share a few shots:


From Silliman Pass



Beville Lake



Lost Lake



Lost Lake again...

We didn't cover a lot of miles, but we had gorgeous weather, great fishing, few skeeters, and even fewer people. And despite the horribly dry year in the Sierra the water was plentiful enough, although the lakes were noticeably low and a few creeks were dry when they shouldn't have been. Even a few wildflowers lingering in the meadows. Didn't see any bears, though...

2. We had a great time - did not want to come back. Except that the food

was getting a bit boring, and I was starting to want hot water (and soap!) in quantities measured by bathtubs rather than by cookpots...

3. Beautiful, esp. the last of a fallen tree, pointing into the meadow.

4. Thanks! My wife is really good at noticing little details like that after I've walked by,

and she was pretty interested in all the fallen/decaying logs and twisted trees in the landscape. She definitely calls me back to photo ops that I've passed by with my eyes on the next ridge...
