Weekend Reflections / Sharing Reflections - Mamie Lake and Lake George, Eastern Sierras, California USA

Click on photos to enlarge!
This is Mamie Lake which is very close to Mammoth Village in the eastern Sierras of California.
This gorgeous little lake is nearly at the 9,000 ft. level.
We enjoyed the string of lakes around Mammoth last weekend.
The sky was over-cast due to a rainy night and then it rained throughout the day.

This is Lake George which sits just beside Mamie Lake.
Notice the reflection is nearly the same in both photos...
Lake George is the same elevation as Mamie Lake, nearly 9,000 feet.

Thank you James for hosting this meme!

Was that fresh snow? We tried to drive up to the Minerettes, but it was hailing and sleeting! Let's see...that was Sunday. We ended up getting lunch and dinner "to go" from The Stove, which is just up the street from the Chart House! No bears there! We were in Lone Pine about noon on Monday, so we missed you by an hour! We have GOT to get together sometime...email me!

The Sierras are gorgeous. The rocky Alps are large bot plain while the trails, meadows and wildflowers below offset that with bold colors and marvelous details. Stunning!
