Centennial Valley Day 3

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!

Morning!





This is the group who partners and runs the campus here.

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.

Our 'work' area this afternoon!
