This guy was soooo close I had to back up in order to get him all in the frame. The first time I've had one completely ignore me and the other people walking by.

He started out about 30 feet away and just kept getting closer.

Ended up just beside the trail about 5 feet from the edge.

I went for years lusting for a longer lens to get captures of these, then when I get a lens that will this happens!! Ha, go figure!
