A Marmot's Paradise
I followed this little guy around until I realized he liked to pop his head out on this rock every minute or two to check and see if I was still there, at which point I surprised him with my 17mm. Not often I get to shoot a critter in the landscape at 17mm. I only got one shot. This was it. After his brief portrait session he went back to his home under the large rock on the right side, background.

Wow...it doesn't get more classic than this. It turned out awesome. I imagine this would do fairly well over in the fauna forum. We dont have a rodent forum yet, do we? :biggrin:
