TRAVEL: The Eastern Sierras, Convict Lake


Monday, July 30, 2012  
Fish Convict Lake
This lake was deep iridescent turquoise.  It’s perhaps the most exquisite lake of the Eastern Sierra, in part because the mountains ranged behind it to the southwest reveal such geologic turbulence.  Their folds and wrinkles are zig-zagging diagonals of granite and oxide. We caught few fish, but had a lovely picnic on the water, gazing at the wondrous color of the water, the beautiful aspen-ringed inlet. 
Blue Darner - I used to call them dragonflies.
