Best day EVER 

These photos were all taken before 9:10 am, local time, this morning!  I’m showing them in sequence.

First, I drove past this beautiful little lake.

Then I drove further up the road and when I went over a small hill here was the huge mountain staring right at me.

I parked at a pullout area at the bottom of the hill where I then found Lake Marie.

When the snow melts off the mountain and in to Lake Marie the runoff goes over this small waterfall to the left of the roadway I came in on…

and emerges of the other side of the road…

where it feeds this small pond…

which then overflows under the bridge you see at the top of the photo to this small waterfall…

which ultimately drains through this huge rock field.

Oh, and to the right of the bridge in the pond photo were some very colorful granite boulders (bigger than my head, and some days I have a pretty big head!).

I have more photos of all these things and will post them in the coming days.

I am so sorry for the two day delay is blog posts.  I hope this helps make up for it.
