It was great to meet you too Tim :-) After you left Phil and I chatted for a while then he had to leave. I spent another hour and a half soaking in the Womb and no one else was soaking in it, or the Serenity Pool. It was an opportunity to just enjoy the magnificent scenery. There was a pair of Ravens across the creek on the beach area doing various funny things. I had my swim googles and put them on to look around in the Womb. There is alot of algae growing on the rocks since at this time of year there are not that many visitors in it to rub the algae off of the rocks. When I was getting ready to cross the creek to leave Donny was coming by me to get in the hotpools. I waved to him goodbye from across the creek as I headed back up the trail. Alot of late day golden sunshine on the landscape which along with the various shadows always look so wonderful. Hopefully we get some more decent rainfall before the warmer weather comes, otherwise the spring growth in the area will be quite sparse compared to average rainfall years.
