Half Dome Owl



Warmed up today...walked to the Post Office...rode back and had early lunch...went to the Creek with drawing board and pastels...made a rough sketch...can work from the photo later...everything still and quiet...at twilight I found the Deer by the Deer House...the Antlered Buck has lost part of one antleer...was gonna go to Owl Log and sit...but it was occupied by "Garth" (a guitar player)!...so paddled back to the Deer House..heard Owl over that way anyway...and revisited the Deer..and Owl came out of the Deer House trees and perched in one out in Cook's...Owl sat, I stood, there a long time...the two of us...watching the alpine glow on Half Dome...easy to forget there's others about...but it's a view...and place..to share.


Will I see them all again in weather like this??...tomorrow this time the first winter storm should come..dont know if the snow will reach this altitude...but I imagine the Creek will rise...
