Spooner Lake is one of our favorite places to take the dogs for a hike. Given my heart issues, the trail is reasonably easy for me to handle, and the scenery . . . AWESOME!
The lack of rain is evident in the shoreline.
Given the very dry winter, there were almost no flowers to speak of. Just a few here and there, but again, the view was still lovely.
Another view from the trail – through the trees.
Seriously…isn’t this gorgeous?

What a beautiful place. Looks like a fantastic place to walk and enjoy the scenery.

It really is. My only regret is that I haven’t been able to go up there by myself. Not that I don’t love my husband and the dogs, but I’d like to really take some time to photograph the light coming through the trees, how it plays with the landscape, the forest floor, etc. When it’s all of us, it’s about the place and just enjoying it, but I can’t stop and put the time into shots that I’d like to.

I know what you mean. My husband supports my photography (he even shoots a little himself), but he doesn’t like to stop and wait while I want to take photos. He’s a “lets get there (wherever that is) now” kind of guy. I like to be able to stop, look around, wait for the right light. So I’m better off doing that on my own. 🙂
