This was taken where McDonald Creek flows into Lake McDonald. You find these pebbles in many of the lakes in Glacier National Park. They vary from red to bloody maroon with greens & blues mixed in. The rocks were formed at different eras when glaciers came they broke the rocks into smaller fragments and the rivers washed them into the lakes. Water erosion rendered them into smooth colorful pebbles.

Green Dream- This little waterfall's name I was told is "Goofy," which seems like a strange name for a waterfall.

~Sunrise Sonata~

While lying in bed this morning, my Wife said the lake might look good for a Sunrise photo. I decided I could go back to sleep, but my wife's cold foot urged me on. The good thing about this spot is it's only three blocks from my house & I could have lied about that, but my wife told me not to. This was taken from the East end of Tubbs Hill looking across Lake Coeur D Alene.
