Trout Lake, Yellowstone

Near the campground where I am staying, a short and steep hike brings you to Trout Lake.

For a while, I just sat and watched the reflections shimmering in the afternoon.  Then dragonflies drew my attention.  They are so small, and so fast - could I?


Yep.

I kept noticing ripples on the surface from fish rising.  I stood and, using my polarizer filter to help see into the water, I saw why the lake had been named Trout Lake.




These two trout, both 14 or 15 inches, "danced" together for at least 10 minutes.  When I moved on, they were still playing tag.
