Rocky Mountain High
The Rocky Mountains continue to invigorate my spirit and inspire my creativity. We were up by 5:30 AM, on the road by 6 AM, quick stop for a latte at The Stone Cup in Lyons and on the trail to Lake Haiyaha (pronounced Hi-ya-ha although we like to say "How-high-are-ya" at 10,220 feet) by 7:30 AM. Surprisingly cool and very windy, somewhat refreshing from the heat wave we have been having this past week. I am loving the BlackRapid camera strap that allows me to carry two cameras at my side always ready for snapping. This series was not manipulated in Photoshop except for a bump in contrast.
The copper reflection of Nymph Lake is sadly from the beetle infested pine trees that are devastating the western region. The sky is really that blue. I love what wind on water does to create an abstract in nature. A very ancient limber pine stands at the shores of Lake Haiyaha and is one of the oldest trees in the national park still majestically standing.
