A sweet, happy little girl, enjoying the afternoon at Mono Lake.
Brendan (13), Colton (9) & Kate (3) with the tufa towers in the background. Doesn't Kate look like a little tourist? :)
Mono Lake has an interesting, but very simple circle of life, and is one of the single most important bird habitats in California.
Besides the 300 species of birds that have been sighted in Mono Basin, about 85% of the nesting population of California sea gulls have their babies at Mono Lake!
The whole tribe (minus Bryson). It was so bright you could hardly see! (as you can tell by me, Kate and Ryan!) It was also very warm, despite the clouds and rain we could see on the other side of Mono Lake.
Kevin and his little buddy.
Kate "adopted" our friends' son Nate, and seemed to look at him as just another brown-eyed brother who showed up.
It wasn't cold, but, that warm breeze could really get going!
The tufa towers behind Brendan took 200-900 years to develop!
Kate imitating our friend Elisabeth walking in the sand.
Kate loves to copy adult behavior.
Mono Lake is one of those places that gets more interesting the more you learn about it. I would like to go back and spend a bit more time reading the info. plaques about it.
