Where Granite Meets Water

Flooded Cove

The rising water level at Watson Lake have flooded coves that you use to walk right through.

Changing Shoreline

Rising lake levels are submerging granite rocks that have not been underwater in a long time at Watson Lake.

Sun To Snow

How quickly things can change as Watson Lake went from sun to a light snow storm.

The Drifter

With lake levels falling and rising this tree had drifted from cove to cove during high water.

Granite Island

Just one of those beautiful days hiking the granite formations around Watson Lake.

Healing Waters

One of my favorite coves along Watson Lake that I can just sit and spend a couple of hours reflecting on things.

A Perfect Day

It was just one of those perfect days for photography with no wind, good light and swirling clouds.

Into The Storm

Fast moving storm clouds create a surreal scene over Willow Lake.

Nature's Power

I was hiking around Watson Lake and realized I had about 10-15 minutes before the rain (and later hail) got to my area so I hiked down to a favorite cove for some last pictures. Scrambling around the granite rocks I positioned myself just above the cove, setup my composition and clicked off about 5 shots. I decided to do a quick image review to check things out and when I got to the last image I noticed a bright spot in the upper right corner of that image. To my surprise I found that I had caught a lighting strike just as I pressed the shutter button on the last image. What are the odds for that?

Watson Lake Shadows

A summer monsoon storm brings dark clouds over Watson Lake but sun light always finds a way to shine through.

Cloudy Reflections

Calm lake water, wispy clouds and the afternoon light can create some wonderful scenes along Watson Lake where you just want to sit down and take it all in.

Cloud Streams

It was one of those wonderful afternoons at Watson Lake with long streaking clouds reflecting in the water to create one of those surreal scenes. It seems like we need to have more of these types of calm days.
