It didn’t appear this little, high altitude resident was too thrilled to have a camera pointed at it. 😉

As I sat down and worked on end-of-year photo projects, I realized I just didn’t take many pics of these guys this year. This particular one was hanging out on the slopes of Mount Evans on July 4th.

With fall here and winter approaching, yellow bellied #marmots have settled in for a long-winters nap and will hibernate until May. Given the harsh conditions where they live, that is probably a good way to pass the time until warmer weather returns.
