We started the day once again with a hike out towards Sparrow Ponds, hoping to repeat our success at seeing moose - no go! But really, who cares? The beauty here is so transformative that there is always something else to astonish you.
So morning brought some nice shots - and another owl!! After morning class we went to Elk Lake Lodge, up the road a ways.  The remaining shots are from there - and you can see what a great environment for class this is. The wind has blown out most of the smoke and now the valley is truly presenting itself - like a proud parent with many different offspring to show you. 
Here's a few shots - Enjoy!

| Summertime and the living is easy - especially if you are 8 yrs old and have a dog that will let you use her as a pillow. |

| Aspen changing above Elk Lake - and that is a bald eagle - the black dot in the upper left sky. |
