Crater Lake - a photo on Flickriver

Crater Lake

            Crater Lake...snow covered and stunningly beautiful. This view is from just to the east of Crater Lake Lodge. I snowshoed to this area just to look around while killing time until the Rim Village Cafe and Gift Shop opened at 10:00 AM. I arrived early and planned to spend the entire day at Crater Lake. Speculation was that it would be crowded. Oregon was finishing their spring break, but California had just started their's. After an hour or so it was time to get some food from the Cafe. I packed up my camera equipment, and as I turned to leave, a big beautiful puffy white cloud was heading toward the lake. I decided to wait to see where it went; if it was going to drift over the lake. It was moving pretty fast, but as it neared the rim of the lake it paused, and paused for quite a long period of time as it appeared to be deciding which direction to go. It eventually moved around the lake east and then north skirting the rim as it continued to move slowly north. Time to head to the cafe. Oh...another cloud. Let me see where this goes. Eventually I made it to the cafe. Upon asking what time it was, I was told it was 2:30. LOL. I watched clouds and took hundreds of photographs over a 4 1/2 hour period and didn't even notice that I had been there that long. I was engulfed in the beauty of snowy Crater Lake and mesmerized with the beauty of the white puffy clouds. BTW...the cheesesteak sandwhich from the Cafe was delicious! DSC_0955A
