My last full day in Madera Canyon was spent chatting up a few strangers, watching the various critters (four- and two-legged), basking in the sun...and taking the occasional photograph. This hungry little Rock squirrel posed so nicely for me that he won my heart for today. I'll try to get a canyon photo tomorrow morning before I leave.

This is a place I can really relax and it is great to be able to do that 24/7 for several days.

I can't thank you enough for your kindness and generosity on my blips over the course of the week.
