This photo is similar to the one Bill was setting up for in the previous photo. Edith Creek plunges over Myrtle Falls after it passes under the bridge whose shadow is visible in this photo. This trail is one of many in the vicinity of the Visitor's Center at Paradise. This photo is taken from the edge of the wooden bridge.
As I was setting up for this photo, my friends called my name saying, I thought, that a big swarm had just passed under my tripod. (We were very harrassed by mosquitoes on this trip and I thought they had spotted a massive swarm right under the tripod. Also, Edith Creek was making a lot of splashing noises, making it hard to hear.) I nodded and went back to composing the image. Once I rejoined my friends, I discovered that they had really said that a big marmot had gone under my tripod! He had come up from under the other side of the bridge, crossed the trail passing under my tripod, then went back under the bridge on this side... And I missed it!!!
