CHRIS' PHOTO JOURNAL
10th to 12th September 08 - Wilderness Lake, Part 1
The fall colours are turning in the forest.
White Mountain Azalea (or Rhododendron).
And the Black Huckleberry.
At Octopus Lake, the Dwarf Birch was putting on its best.
(That is Wilderness Montain behind: the lake is to its right.)
At the head of Wilderness Lake, I came to Dry Lake.
This is at the foot of it, looking back towards Wilderness Lake.
It is marked as a lake on the map but has only the creek in it.
This is looking the other way.
(The climb to the morraine wall is on the left.)
On the right, Mount Monarch was emerging from the clouds.
The morraine wall makes a dam for a lake at the foot of a glacier.
It is easy to walk on the glacial silt.
Most of the flowers were finished everywhere,
so I was delighted to find some Tilingi's Monkeyflowers in the little seeps that still ran from higher snow patches.
And most startling of all, a splendid clump of Paintbrush
that was so well situated I had to photograph it from every angle!
