In Search of Swimming Holes..

Today we drove up to Bluejay Lake.
We stopped and swam anywhere that looked inviting.
After cooling off, we hiked a trail that overlooks the Bay.



Below is a picture of a meadow of wild cotton.
It was hot in the sun, but a cool breeze blew from the direction we were walking in.

The dogs had to jump in every watering hole. Some were deep.
Eventually, we arrived at the overlook:

The dock was the perfect place to rest and look over the water.
We spotted, what looked like, two bears across the way.

When we got back to the lake, we needed one more swim.
