A few years ago I made a trip to the west coast and back in my car. I camped wherever I could to save on cost and be in nature. One of my favorite nights was at Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. The water in this lake is crystal clear with the bottom of the lake strewn with colored rocks. It sits in a valley created by erosion and glacial activity. This visit was made in June of 2004 just after the massive fires of 2003. Approximately 136,000 acres burned within the park boundary. This came after 5 years of drought and the hottest summer temperatures ever recorded in the park. I had a nice campsite back among the trees and away from the lake. Because of the noise from campers and the chugging sound of RV generators I took a walk to the lake. I’m glad I did and just happen to have my camera with me. I think it’s a great way to relax before going to bed.

“I just happen to have my camera with me …”. When don’t you, Monte? 😉 Beautiful shot. Did you go for a swim in those glacial waters? LOL

LOL Sounds like you know something about me. No I did not go for a swim but that water is so enticing due to the fact it is crystal clear. I need to go back there.
