Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. This view from yesterday afternoon shows what appears to be “an abundance of pollen” on the lake’s surface in the foreground.

A blue sky filled with puffy white clouds hangs over a group of red, silver, grey, and white boats lining both sides of a dock. The lake is Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. The image is of interest for the swirl of yellow in the foreground. It is likely that this swirl of yellow is pollen, set in motion and sculpted by the wind. Snow-capped mountains and green tree-covered slopes appear in the distance. Thanks to the National Park Service and the Glacier National Park Conservancy for providing these beautiful views.

View of Half Dome from Ahwahnee Meadow. Blue sky and a few delicate clouds here and there in this Yosemite Conservancy web camera image from Sunday. The National Weather Service seven-day forecast for Yosemite Valley shows clear/sunny conditions for the area. Green colors the valley floor, the leaves in the foreground, and the line of trees in the center. The greys, tans, and blacks of the rock faces are lit by the sun. A few shadows appear in the grasses and along the slopes.

A view of Point Reyes Beach in Point Reyes National Seashore today. The deep-blue colors of the Pacific Ocean fill the scene. A white line of waves meet the shore on the right. In the foreground, yellow blooms highlight the greens and browns of the slopes behind the visitor center. A line of clouds appears in the distance, separating land and water from the blue sky above.

From border to border...

Isle Royale National Park (Mott Island) and Padre Island National Seashore ( Malaquite Beach) today.

Boats in the water in this view from Isle Royale National Park today. In the foreground, a busy dock, with vessels coming and going. A tree-covered landscape fills the background. The surface of the water shows ripples from the movement of the boat and, at a larger scale, perhaps the energy of the wind. Near the far shore, the water is still enough to show a reflection of the trees.
This view from Padre Island National Seashore today shows visitors enjoying the water, which is colored in a variety of blues and greens. Modest waves approach the shore, where umbrellas and beach chairs signal the presence of other visitors. Green and brown vegetation fills the foreground. To the right, a boardwalk links the shore to the outside world.
