I Picked a Bad Day to Forget the Bug Spray

Chunlin and I took a dayhike yesterday to Margaret Lake. (Why do I want to call it Lake Margaret?) No rain, but the mosquitos were out in full force. Constant swatting while we ate our lunch. I got about ten bites, including one on my ear. Chunlin only got three or four. Maybe I'm tastier, or maybe she's better at protecting her flesh.


The snow must not have melted till a couple weeks ago. The mosquitos were freshly hatched and very hungry.

The view from the high point on the trail:


Name that flower!


And one more for your viewing pleasure, on the final descent to the lake:


I've posted more photos at my flickr site.
