June 21 - Lake Mary

Got an early start this morning -- going to be a short day so the plan is Lake Mary above the Brighton Ski Resort.

Sunny morning with wispy clouds and windy - very windy.

The lower portion of the trail is surrounding by lush green plants that will look awesome in a few weeks but today mostly only bluebells, forget-me-knots in bloom and some columbine in bud - the red/white variety.

The trail is much drier than when I was here last time.

Many ground squirrels running around this morning.

And chipmunks.

I make my way to Dog Lake -- spot a Boisduval's Blue sunning itself. The lake is very small now.

Hoping to see a moose because its only 8:20am but nothing.

I head back to the trail to Lake Mary.


On the way down, I spot a family of baby ground squirrels playing hide-n-seek from one of their den holes.


Good short day!
