Hoye Canyon and Topaz Lake

The sun finally started to shine March 9 so we headed toward 

Wellington took Hoye Canyon Rd. to explore.  I like when people

leave ornaments like this on sagebrush.  I have a few shots like this

in my photo collection.  

We hiked up a mountain and got a good view of the

West fork of the Walker River.   

Had lunch at Topaz Lake and lots of people were out getting some sun

and trying for fish.  

Someone's artwork on the shore and a couple fisherman at peace. 

We drove to the gateway to Hwy. 89 and since it was closed we

took a walk up the road a bit.  In the spirit of Ansel Adams I took a few photos

of the mountains and this was my pick of the lot.  I think it

looks like the profile of a smiling monster coming out of the mountain frozen in the rocks.

I like his teeth.
