My visit to the Indian Peaks had been perfect -- moose at Brainard Lake, and beautiful conditions for my hike to Lake Isabelle. That's not even an attempt at cheesy foreshadowing about problems cropping up later in the day, because none did. Just more of the same wonderful Colorado summer experience. :)
The outflow from the lake was running a little heavy for me to want to wade out in the middle for a photo like I had a few years earlier.
Fortunately, the view from the shore was just fine.
Midday lighting gets tricky to work with -- straight down and sharp contrast. These pine cones were nicely illuminated, though.
Fun with my polarizing filter -- full reflection from one pond...
I really like this view of the South Saint Vrain Creek flowing from Long Lake taken from the little footbridge that connects the Pawnee Pass and Niwott Cutoff Trails.
Like I mentioned earlier, the wildflowers weren't blooming yet in the same profusion I'd seen this time of year in the past. This Parry Clover was making a go of it, though.
I think it goes without further explanation that my morning at Brainard Lake Recreation Area was a complete success!
