Back from Mariposa this morning...got some nice clips there of..Mariposa Creek!...but no time tonight to glue them up....and got some nice clips hereabouts of the Deer this evening...but no time!...and a clip too of this Blue Jay!...anyway...nice blue cold day with some control burn smoke...the Merced is full...always nice to watch from the Bus to and fro Mariposa window....the new 12x gets jaggy sometimes when with full magnification of the teleconverter....zooms quieter...haven't compared pic quality yet with the old one...cant save pics to the web the same way...they're too big message says...so cropped this one down...will have to figure out how to get back to that "save for web" resolution as they have been nice to click on in the blog and see bigger pic....long story about the Deer...they were by the Deer House...and I thought they might try to cross the Merced...at the Chapel Bridge...which would have been a sight!...but tourist were about...then they started up to Lodge Pole Point...and I thought.."Oh, they're going to Creek's End...and will maybe cross!"....so I got out ahead of them and sat on the roots of the Ponderosa at the Point...and set up the tripod with legs retracted...and waited...and they showed up one by one..and I got good clips...except they were always eyeing me!...normally they ignore me...but because I think I was so low to ground it spooked them...they did come almost to the Creek...but turned around and trotted back....I located them further up the Creek...then they went back to the Deer House where they looked to settle down...trying to be invisible failed this time!...went to dinner in Siberia..then got a car tour with friends all the way up to Tunnel View..got good clip of Sentinel Falls...can get a better one and will go back for this...it's a rare fall like so many that only show at high water.
