Say hello to my happy spot.
Mirror Lake, in the High Uintas:
I live pretty high up in the mountains. Higher still are the aptly named High Uintas about 40 miles from me. We sneak up there on a regular basis ~ to beat the heat.
This glorious glacial lake starts celebrating summer... right about the time we're saying bye-bye to the same dang season.
Just wanted to share ~ in case you're goofing around doin' nuttin' like me, on this Labor Day weekend.
Doin' nuttin' is kinda fun. I'm thinkin' I might make a full-time job of it.

What a gorgeous place. I'd be sneaking up there myself!
It's an amazing micro-climate.
We need to get you out here so you can experience it first hand. :)))
That water looks amazing! Is it a good swimming place?
Wow, it really is gorgeous. My Dad loves to ride his motorcycle up there and he said it was pretty but I had no idea. Hmmm I think I may know where I'm going to spend my day off.
I haven't found time to get up there yet this year- but I sure want to. Better hurry!
Such a beautiful spot in the world. I could certainly relax and soak up the atmosphere there too.
Kate, I can see why this is a favourite spot! The blue skies, the deep blue lake and the mountain in the distance, it seems like a perfect spot to me.
What an absolutely gorgeous spot. I'd love to be there doing nuttin too. But I'm stuck in the garden working my hiney off this holiday weekend. good thing I like the garden.
Mirror Lake is beautiful! I've never visited there, but I will have to sometime. Have fun doin nuttin!
Gorgeous! I love alpine/glacial lakes. gail
What a beautiful sight. Just looking at those mountains in the distance cools one off. It is just a gorgeous spot to escape to Kate!
Kate,
That is indeed a lovely spot. It is amazing the quick summers that alpine locations can have. What a wonderful getaway for this holiday weekend.

PS, I wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying your blog and the flowers in your garden and places you get to in your altitude. I have been linking to you for awhile and wondered if you would consider linking to mine. I would feel honored if you did.

Thanks Yael
I wouldn't mind making a career out of doin' nuttin'. But I'd probably wreck it by doin' too much just because I had the time!
Gosh, those photos make me wish we could go back to July and I could spend some of it in the mountains, shooting the wildflowers, instead of riding my bike!
But only for a day or six... :)
How beautiful! And how nice to have a place where you can retreat from the heat; I could have used a cooler spot myself last week. I'm getting pretty good at 'doin nuttin':)
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
