Here is the "cute", yes I said "cute", Black Tailed Prairie Dog. These little guys once had huge colonies, but development has cut their population down. I took this at Standley Lake in CO a few weeks ago. The white peak in the background is Longs Peak which is over 14,000ft. This is one of my personal favorite animal photos. Thanks for taking the time to look!

I like how you played with the depth of field. You can say thank you to the Dog which poses nicely for you... ;-)
