Hello everyone, Alisha and I went on a little mini-vacation in Eastern Washington and went for a few hikes – including one to one of Alishas favorite places – Emerald lake – which is a mountain lake you have to hike miles over a mountain to get to – In the summer the upper lake dries up and the lake bed is left to slowly dry leaving large cracked earth. There are also beautiful mint fields, deep emerald lake and flower filled meadows. Below are a number of the macro photos I took here and in Priest Lake Idaho.
