Ted:  Raisins?  I didn't have no steenkin' raisins. . . !   :-)  I'll
keep them in mind the next time I go to Glacier National Park. . .

This little fellow showed up a few seconds after I put down my bag.  I
only had a 35mm lens on the camera, but a guy's gotta do what a guy's
gotta do.  I barely had time to throw the  lens open and not quite
focus.  I could have used a longer lens, and a few raisins with which to
stick the ground squirrel to my hat.  Those critters are *fast*!!

Now that I have Focus Magic, I'll have to try it on the original scan.

releasing the shutter when I threw him a raisin. ;-) Well OK there were 
raisins involved. ;-)

or in the hot shoe, between shutter speed dial and prism, at the back
right 
by the eye piece wherever you can get them up to the camera. You only
need a 
few in strategic locations.
