Water:

Went hiking Saturday afternoon at a lake near us. This time of year it is VERY low, so low that you can walk the shoreline all the way around the lake. In the summer the water goes right up to the trees, and there isn't a way around the lake on foot. I couldn't get over the color of the water in the shadow of the mountain--this incredible jade aqua blue-green. The stumps in the foreground are usually submerged.
Another view of the water color, un-tweaked.
This is part of the old forest at the far end of the lake, and this area is usually about 10' under water. Everything on this trunk and root system is submerged except for the green growth at the top.
I was standing underneath the roots in the above photo, shooting down the lake. All the stumps that are visible are under water in the summer, and the place I am standing is at least 10' under.
Once the snow in the mountains starts melting off, the lake will fill up.
