Hi Missy,
I wasn't sure if I liked those random images at first, but I'm beginning to think it's pretty cool! Yes, that is the color of the water. It's pretty amazing! I guess it's because of some mineral that is in it. Thanks!
Kathy

About six years ago i stopped at this exact lookout without a camera. Its one of those views permanently etched in my mind. SO as im scrolling through your portfolio, it stood out as so familiar. Its a gorgeous area isnt it. I wonder how shooting this in early morning light would go...
thanks for sharing,
matt

My husband pointed out to me this morning that this is not, in fact, Lake Diablo! It's actually Ross Lake! Oops on my end this time! I might go in and change the name if I get around to it.
Love Your picture of Becky and the twins...and the one of Abbi grasping your hand is absolutely precious!

Oops, forgot to say what I was going to say, regarding the lake's color... It's due to the sediment coming off the glaciers, that comes down Thunder Creek.

The aqua color of the water is gorgous and I love the way the mountains sweep around it!

Hey Kathy,
Yes, Twin Lakes is on the way to Baker's ski lodge. On your left (as you're on your way to the lodge), there is a snow removal equipment holding area on your left... big gravel lot with salt and gravel pits and lots of equipment... at the end of that lot, there's a small dirt road... take that up for around 8 miles or so (you will NEED a 4x4, year round), and you finally get to the top, there's a great lookout, and it's a great place to camp, most people don't know about it, that are visiting the state.
I tried to get there, last November, but about threw myself, my wife, and the rental truck off the side... So we didn't try to go much further (too much snow, hehe).
Yes, we'd ride from Hamilton to Winthrop, it was a grueling but fun time. Some would start from Sedro-Woolley (my hometown by the way), to Winthrop... But, too much flat riding for me. We'd also ride the STP every year. (Seattle to Portland in one day). The last year, I think we did it in just over 11 hours elapsed time. I was healthy back then, now it's hard enough for me to hold two 35mm cameras at a time. LOL.
Yes, Becky and the twins are doing very well.. Typical ups and downs, and total lack of sleep, but other than that, just fine! :)

I don't know why the water is that color Mike. I have been told that it's because of some mineral that is in it. At any rate...it's really something to see!
Thanks for your nice comments!
Regards, Kathy

I'm thinking that Twin Lakes is on the way to Mt. Baker? I'm sure that my husband knows where that is. If my sister and I had more time on our hands we would make LOTS of side trips, but we have a catering business and the summer is our busiest time of the year.
So you biked from Hamilton to Winthrop? Not in a million years!!!! :) My husband and I used to go to Winthrop golfing at least a couple of times a year, but we took the car :)
Babies and Becky doing okay?
Kathy

LOL, Kathy! I have almost exactly that same shot, taken with the S1 IS... Only it was a bit more overcast when I was there. ;) I must send u some of my pics. hehe. My wife loved that tree, she took a few shots of it. One of my favorite pictures of my wife was taken at that overlook.
By the way, behind the power plant, there's a small dirt road you can go up. It's a bit of a journey, but it's well worth it, there are some BEAUTIFUL vantage points back in there. Expect some wear and tear on your vehicle though. :)
This time of year, I'll tell you where u need to go, Twin Lakes. Do you know where that is, and how to get there? :)

What an awesome vantage point you found for the shot.
The colour of the water and its contrast against the greens of the forest is womderful.
Well done for managing to get the sky correctly exposed!
