Secret Lake Nears Original Painting

'Secret Lake Nears' presents a hard earned and long awaited lake ending to an out and back day hike. A short distance away, water shimmers in a glacial lake as pine provides shade for a break.
 
Raise your hand if you've ever felt personally victimized by another hiker telling you 'you're so close' only to find that your definitions of close are very different?
 
Sometimes it takes getting lost to find something or hard work to get a chance to take it easy. This piece was inspired by a summer hike with my husband and dogs in an area we're pretty familiar with when we stumbled on a glacial lake we otherwise may have missed.
