We just had an earthquake; Loyd IM’d me as I was IMing a friend in Florida with the same message: “Earthquake!” As always, Loyd was Johnny-on-the -spot with this link:

He thought it was about 7, but it turns out to be about 5.6. Now, back to your regularly scheduled Yosemiteblog, now in progress.
–and while there are no lakes in the vicinity of Half Dome, puddles will provide excellent reflective surfaces for the intrepid and innovative photographer:
Just be sure that you keep your lens adapter above the surface of the water, or you may get fogging on the lens itself. I hope this episode was instructive, and we will see you next time on “How to Photograph Yosemite on a Shoestring”!

Did you feel the earthquake? What’d it feel like there? My inlaws in Mariposa didn’t feel it.
It wasn’t too bad here. it was enough to set off some windchimes here in my room, and make my rickety desk wobble somewhat. I think Loyd felt it more where he is.
It was awesome! I love earthquakes! But then, that’s probably why I majored in Geology.
Loyd, don’t make me use your own joke on you!
This is also an interesting link if you want a notification of an earthquake on your cell phone. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/ens/
