Fall High Water








Early Breakfast, but not early enough, like daybreak, to see how high High Water was this morning!...by mid morning, Creek and River looked to have gone down like three or four feet, but Ozone Boulder was still under water--see pic.....Shuttled over to the Village...title for Silver came in mail, which I've been looking forward to!...paddled back through the Oak Grove...batteries in waterproof low, and returned to the Cabin to charge them.....put the 18-55mm lens on the new camera, and back to the Creek for pics...Creek wide, slow, and brown with mud.... when the water goes down, I'm curious to see what's gotten moved around!....at Ozone Beach, it looks like the Fallen Cedar has been swept away, something even the highest Spring High Water didn't do...continued to Two Top Pine Meadow....report in the morning that one could go 'rafting' thereabout, and it looked to be so--mud and debris on the Path....oh!...back by Ozone, near the Path, sighted Coyote on the Path...went ahead a bit, and pre focused on Fire Hydrant...and Coyote came along and looked the CoyoteLook my way!...pic a bit blurry--settings wrong....and same time about, heard Hawk, Redshoulder (couldn't locate), and sighted Hawk, Redtail, soaring along the Wall...pics up...continued on the Outside Loop counterclockwise....scenics...much fun to take hd clips with the newer camera...switched lenses with the new camera to take advantage of the wide angle 18mm....Maple lost it's leaves....pic....across Chapel Bridge, around Bobcat Meadow, back again through the Oak Grove...late Lunch at Last Chance, and at the Cabin, Bones episodes on tv, and a nap...too long a nap...missed the hoo hoos....I took a lot of Falls hd clips!....and a splendid walkabout!....like a Springtime Day in October!....and Tioga road is open...Snow level above the Pass...and maybe tomorrow another rollabout thataway!....while napping, did dream of Owls, and Bobcat, and Blue Grouse!...dont know if dream sightings count!...and the dream camera pics hard to upload!
