This lake is absolutely amazing, Nancy and one of our second day stops in the Olympic National Park. It was carved by glaciers 7 thousand years ago and the water is a stunning crystal clear blue/green.
How awesome! And now I’m itching to visit the PNW. Oregon has been on my list for a while now, but I’m thinking a road trip starting in Vancouver with a lot of side trips would be fantastic!
Another place we’d never heard of before that we want to see again, for longer! All my photos of it are from the bus – with Bryan telling me when to click between trees, and nowhere near as good as this – beautiful!
I kept trying to get a good shot from the car but couldn’t make it work. Fortunately we found a great place to pull over. 🙂 I hope you get your wish of a return visit!
This photo looks out of this world, Lisa. Looks like there are sparkling diamonds in the water. It must have been a wonderful sight, and a very bright one, for your eyes 🙂
Perfect capture, Lisa, and I just LOVE the overall feeling and color of this image. Wishing I could just jump right into that photo. Thank you. Love, Amy

Since it is part of the NP I guess there are no cottages on shores. Shame, I was thinking of buying one 😉 I love your sparkly water surface, Lisa!
