Out and about early, before Sun up....back to the Creek and Creek's End...cold, but not so cold...some Fog...and then it got cold with a wind from the North East...swirled the Fog about...Kingfisher chattering!...somewhere up towards Chapel Bridge...thought to go thataway, but the Creek a little higher, making the leap problematic...turned about and out the Diversion Channel...crossed through the Woods to the Merced...quiet all the way...turned about and walked back aways along the River...pic of Half Dome Snow topped...sky grey...crossed the Woods to the Bike Path, and sighted Big Wings way high up flying to perch in the Ponderosa....set the tripod down, and tried to get closer with the new camera.. pics up....there was a great pic to be taken, but I had to get to the Tree and go under Hawk's perch branch, and to where I could see Hawk face on and high above...and I was there!...raised the camera...and Hawk took off..pressed shutter...but the camera goes to sleep to conserve battery...and didn't wake up quick enough...Hawk flew to another high perch...pic up...and I went back to get the tripod...wanted a clip, and from a long way away, looked away a moment, and Hawk was gone...following took me back to the Cabin...but no luck...and put the gear up, went to Breakfast, and then back to the Cabin and sleep...some Sun, cool and a dusting of Snow about half way down the Walls....Hawk looks to be Hawk of a few days ago...I think there's a setting on the camera to delay the going to sleep mode....could use one of those my ownself!....Sky was clear, but the Tree branches were 'raining'...still wet from yesterday's Rain....
