Posing Squirrel

Took this pic at Duck Harbor, which hardly has enough water to float a duck, and has "silted up" with oak leaves!

Spent a couple hours out on the walkabout....thought to stay for the Owls...but got hungry and went to dinner...did get clips of the Deer House Does with their Fawns...some at Half Stump, and later right in Cook's Meadow with Falls in background...kinda cool they showed up there...they made a big walkabout as last I saw them by the Merced near Swinging Bridge (where Half Stump is and a large gravel island bar) they were trotting off towards the Lodge...so they must have made their loop too!

Took the Bus over to El Cap Meadow...didn't see any climbers...flushed a grouse or something...but it flew too far away for pic...I didn't realize how close together El Cap and the Cathedrals are...really closed in area...with the ever present sound of rolling auto tires...I can block that out at the Creek (along with the Tiki Temple Whine...and smell) but here it's kinda pervasive...imagine they hear it on the climbs...whole place felt a bit Paite Meadowish...this to say...haunted.
