Another hike yesterday, another lake in the Sierras (Chain lake this time). I managed to get in up to my waist, but the water was a bit too chilly to take the full plunge.

New to us Doe and Fawn, have a few more singles, a few twins and one set of triplets that wander through here in the foraging.
