Made you look didn't I? I found this Marmot sunbathing on a rock in the mountains. She, maybe, was very content and did not move away from me. It was a cool day and she was soaking it up.
Neat looking animal Chuck! Don't believe we have Marmots here. Similar to a beaver or groundhog are they? Pretty smart way to warm up! Nice capture of him!
WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY
Nice, Chuck, and you and Kidder have gone and gotten me all curious about this critter so I looked him up HERE and found some pretty kewl stuff about him. He's certainly in his element in the mountains where you live, my friend.
Super duper nice shot of this little fella catching some sun and on the watch for predators!! Luv the overall textures with the grasses and rocks beyond!!
