American pika takes a break, lounges on a rock

You have to look close at this one to see what makes me absolutely smile when looking at it. This little guy / gal was clearly pretty worn out from all the gathering it was doing in prepping for winter. It hopped up on this rock and was so exhausted, rather than sit up to take a break, it lounged across the top of the rock. So funny – and so stinking cute! As I write this, I honestly can’t think of any time ever that I have gotten captures of one relaxing like this.
