The long view is a sunrise shot at 5 AM from my cabin area. The big dome is Half Dome, to the left are Echo Peaks, then Tenaya Peak.
That little pudgy critter is a Mountain Pocket Gopher. I was walking by and it came out of it's hole to say hello. It didn't like my camera lens much. He charged the lens a couple of times, then he covered the opening of his hole. I got the message and left the area.
This is a beautiful big buck that hangs around my cabin. I see him most every evening. He has grown accustomed to me being close to him.
