And here's the cute little critter again, which at first glance thought was a small porcupine, then a woodchuck, but Brian corrected me and rightly identified as a marmot.

I thoroughly enjoyed your "Ray" series, so much so that you've inspired me to do a "Brian" series as well. So here you go folks...enjoy.

#1 Kokopeli caught off guard at Glacier Point...but a perfect exposure nonetheless, dont'cha think?

#2 Like a true nature photographer, he inches his way ever so stealthily toward his target to get the close-up shot.

#3 Brian cooling off in the Merced River. Not sure what he's pointing to, though...perhaps he can tell us.

I hope I don't get blamed for crashing the internet with my likeness.. LOL..

At least you are somewhat photogenic! I've got to admit, this is probably the most photos I've had taken of me within the past 10 years..

You might want to get your camera in for a check-up Ray. ;)

Since I'm here, I may as well post a couple critter photos...

#1 - The fuzzy little marmot.

#2 - 4 Shots of the deer (plural) that I was able to ease up on... I shot over 40 shots of these beautiful creatures, these three are a few of my favorites.

especially the last one. That's the look a hunter sees through his scope right before he pulls the trigger, lol.

I'll throw one more photo into the mix. This was taken at Tuolomne meadows, almost the same position as when I took the group photo. I managed to get a bit of the moon on this shot.
