Acorn Eaters
Paddled over to the Post Office...then picked up lunch....tuna sandwich, chips, hershy's, elixir...put it all in the Camelback...and thought..thought...to try again to find the use trail up Indian Canyon...got as far as the A. Meadow Picnic Tables...and the Deer were there...where and doing what I thought they would be with the snow covering their usual food...eating acorns in the North Walls' sunny snow free Rocky Slopes....the Live Oaks thrive on these slopes...both sides....after the Deer pics and clips...picked up and went to the Trail that crosses Indian Creek on the way to Lower Falls...I still can't find the old use trail there...scrambling up the Creek boulders looks problematic!!!...just the little up made me huff and puff...and was geared up way too warm...so paddled back to the Road and across the A. Meadow...and back the way I came and out to Cook's...sat a long while at the Long Fallen Ponderosa in the Artist's Grove...Ravens were about..thought of how they seem to have a lot of free time...they were playing in the sky....finished lunch and made the Big Loop....enjoying the wonderful afternoon light...Half Dome pic and Cottonwood pic there along the Merced at Ozone Beach...sunny warm a few clouds....oh...heard a frog while doing the Deer clips!...Falls clip with digi out in the A. Meadow...was too close!..there's an early morning Rainbow pic to take from this vantage angle...will try tomorrow further back...in Stoneman Meadow!!...oh!....report of Bobcat jam at the A. Meadow...hour or so after I was there!!
