Snow Lake, Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Washington
This photo is another view of Snow Lake, a hike that was previously chronicled in Lake Day. This shot is from above, and on the opposite side of, the lake. By the time I was hiking back in the mid-afternoon, the morning clouds had cleared and the sun was highlighting the lake’s glorious signature shades of blue. I paused for awhile in this spot just to revel in the dazzling colors and the summer warmth.
Days like this are why I try to hike as much as I can through the summer. So I can soak in all that brightness and sunlight and color, and store it away in my mind to pull out during the times when the rain seems endless and it feels like every day is lived in muted shades of gray.
And looking back at these photos of vibrant summer memories reminds me that even in the gloom of winter, the sun still shines. Sometimes one just has to search a little harder to find it. (Or if one is really lucky, sometimes a friend shows us where to look.)
