On Saturday, me and two of my friends went to Sequoia NP. We had a great time as we haven't been together since 2005. While on a short hike, I saw a bear in the distance. Switched my lens and tried to get closer, but I'm still trying to re-learn how to walk again....I didn't get far. Still, it was nice to finally get out and 'capture' some wildlife!

    I think you did an excellent job there as we don't have those in Scotland.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
