Lazy day trip to Mirror Lake

Diana, Murphy and I took a lazy day trip up to Mirror Lake campground in the Uintas yesterday just to relax together and see country that we hadn't seen in a while. We stopped for a while at Trial Lake campground, remembering times when my folks camped here and we would hike around the area. Trial lake was way down but the small fish were still jumping around and an adventurous fly fisherman floated around looking for opportunities.
Murphy did well, he jumps down from the truck and I lift him into the back seat when it is time to go. He was on the alert for squirrels and chipmunks at Mirror Lake.
Many memories of times spent camping and picnicking in these areas over the years. A fawn checked us out as did a female moose but no bear this time. Gorgeous country and the wonderful light playing its games across the landscapes and ancient Uinta mountains made for a beautiful and relaxing day.

That 2nd photo looks like a watercolor.

Hi Gail,
surface of lake with fish jumping and reflections - softened up a bit to look like painting.
