This shot was taken by fellow photographer Sandie while a marmot approached me to get some food.

Approached? I'd say he FOUND you! Amazing the little critter got right in your face like this but unfortunately that's what happens when humans continuously feed them. My husband & I just got back from a trip to Colorado, and we had a little ground squirrel follow us downhill for half a mile begging for food, though he never got THIS close! Cute shot :biggrin:

What were you carrying some tasty grasses in your pocket or something?!! Photo is too funny -- thanks for sharing.

Sandie made a terrific picture - quite a portrait of a nature photographer getting immersed in his work.

If you wouldn't move around so much, they'd probably come closer... :biggrin:

Nice to meet you, Andreas and your buddy too. When I'll come to the Alps I really want you to introduce me to him. Seems like he can do a pretty good massage. :smile:

Always saddens me a bit to see animals this accustomed to people. Funny shot, though :smile:
