Lakes South of Amelia Earhart Peak, Yosemite ????

Has anyone here ever been to these lakes:

Are they nice, from a camping/scenery perspective? (I'm not interested in fishing)
If the link doesn't work, the lakes I'm talking about are on a flat bench directly south of Amelia Earhart peak, SE of a pass heading to Ireland lake, and NW of Mts. Lyell and Maclure, at about 11,280 ft. They look attractive on the map, but I remember Maclure lake, the only place around there I've been, being surrounded by huge boulders-- it wouldnt be much fun if these lakes are too.
I've never been there, but am thinking-- well, daydreaming, really, as it wouldn't happen for months-- of a trip later this summer meandering up the non-JMT side of Lyell canyon, crossing over and following Maclure creek to these lakes, then continuing west to Ireland lake and the tundra around there and Evelyn, maybe wandering back via Elisabeth lake.
thanks for any info...
