Last weekend, Dad duties had me driving well north of San Diego with my son. Of course, I tossed the camera gear in the car before we set out on our multi-hour drive. On our return, we took the long way through the San Bernardino National Forest to take in the sights.

A bit north of Idyllwild (is that the coolest name for a town or what!) is Lake Fulmor. When something is beautiful, it doesn't matter if it's golden hour or not. This little nook in the mountains shines just as brightly on a clear, blue day.
