This was a beautiful little lake that we camped at for one night just inside Alaska near the Yukon border. We spent the evening sitting on the edge of the lake watching beavers collecting branches. The light was just perfect as the sun slowly set over the lake as wolves howled in the distance. It’s a nice memory.
This is a high magnification image that I took of a painted lady butterfly wing. The physics of how the surface of the butterfly wing works is still a bit puzzling to me. The intricate shapes and features of the wing are really interesting.
I’ve always liked the Owens Valley and the east side of the Sierras. The contrast between the flat valley floor and the steep rocky wall of the mountains is nice.
