Hume Lake - Sequoia National Forest CA

Hume Lake - Sequoia National Forest CA  7/7/14
We spent a couple of days in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park in the Sierra Nevada. The giant sequoias were absolutely awesome. Photos and words cannot describe them. Managed one paddle in Hume Lake (another lake made by the Army Corps of Engineers). It was a busy place, but there were many birds and great scenery. Apart from seeing rangers in boats as well as one diver in a cordoned off section which I took to be some research ( it later turned out someone had drowned there 4 days earlier and they were still searching for the body), it was an excellent paddle. I got some cool pics of a mother American Coot feeding her  babies.

And if you want to see those Giant Sequoias, here are a few shots with us for scale.
