Show Your Snaps...September 5, 2022

This is the weekly Show Your Snaps thread where we invite you to show your own snapshots or even choice pictures. I'll be sure to comment about your photos, if you choose to share.

When you are posting your own images please submit them as a reply to this post. Otherwise your pictures may be overlooked. You might also consider describing your pictures in the subject title. See my own photos for this week as a reply.

Remember it's all about the enjoyment of taking pictures regardless of what we have. We can learn from each other and it's fun to share too. Thanks everyone for your participation.

This is open to all camera systems and skill levels.

While I was on vacation this past July, I went on a hike to Arrowhead Lake. This is in the Mammoth Lakes Region of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I hope you like this series.

Photo No. 1 - Before we began the hike, we stopped at Lake Mary.

Photo No. 2 - After hiking from the trailhead of the Duck Pass Trail, we stopped for a few minutes. I believe that's Lake Mary in the background.

Photo No. 3 - In the same area I see what may be a gold mine straight ahead. I heard there was one around here at or near that location.

Photo No. 4 - Zooming up a little you can see the tailings.

Photo No. 5 - Well, here we are at our destination.

Photo No. 6 - Yes, this is Arrowhead Lake.

Photo No. 7 - And another view, through some trees....

Photo No. 8 - Looking over here we see these rocks.

Photo No. 9 - There were lots of people on them.

Photo No. 10 - Ah, we have someone that wants to jump and so she does.

Photo No. 11 - Look at the expressions of the girls taking pictures. I don't think they thought that she would jump like that. Well, that's my guess.

Photo No. 12 - A digital zoom before she hits the water....

Photo No. 13 - Coming back down the trail from Arrowhead Lake, there were these horses.

Photo No 14 - Those horses could move fast, I would say three times the speed of a person or maybe even more.

Photo No. 15 - After the hike and further north from Lake Mary, here is a view of Twin Lakes (if I'm not mistaken).

Photo No. 16 - Leaving this Mammoth Lakes Region, I took this snap from the car. It shows the dry side of this mountain range. It's a good place for hiking if any of you want to try it.

Thanks.  I have a lot more photos from the vacation.  So, hang on to your couch. LOL

Next week, I'll probably show more from our trip but of a different area.  Meanwhile, I'm still taking pictures every weekend.  I'm collecting them.

But nothing is more fun than going far-away and finding different things to photograph.

Thanks.  This area is just south of Mammoth, California.

Those are excellent. That's neat that you have such a good area to consistently get those super good-looking photos.

That's great you were able to make a good investment.  I'm sure that large bit of land keeps you busy.  Work around a place like that must keep you young.

Wow...that's terrific that you were able to get so many good pictures of the bird as it started taking off in flight.

Thanks.  I'm glad you noticed that too of her friends.  I think they were astonished that she would jump off like that and were happy to try and catch the action with their cell phones.

It is indeed beautiful country...love seeing the images...great one of the bird and the dying wildflower too.
