Watch the snow melt!.
The snow is melting pretty fast in RMNP. Along Bear Lake road not much snow around, and the Glacier Gorge trail only has a few snow banks left in shady areas. Sprague lake is completely thawed, and the rivers are Flowing at capacity!.
I just about caught sunrise at Sprague lake Sunday am, no clouds around so nothing too exciting. Here are a couple from Alberta falls though.

Very nice Nick!! I especially like your first shot of Alberta Falls! Great composition and nice shutter speed. The sun lit trees in the background add something special too it as well. I'm going to have to get up there soon!

I like the motion in the last one. They're all good, though.

I like them all, but I really appreciate the unique comp of the first image. Good work!

I like #2 the framing of the falls between the trees is unique. The light is nice on all of them too. Definitely got to get up there sometime soon.

I like the first one best too. The omission of the sky and just a hint of lighting in the trees works better for me. All are wonderful shots though.

Nick, All are Really nice! I REALLY like the way you framed the waterfall with the trees in #2. The light on the trees in the background is also very nice. I guess I should just say #2 is really awesome.

Great images! Really like the first on alot. I also like the low angle on the third image.

I just love that second one. I don't know if I want to watch the snow melt, it sounds kinda boring :biggrin:

Nick - all three shots are great, but I particularly like the framing an light on #2. This reminds me of my very first visit to RMNP - my first hike was up to Alberta Falls.
