Between a Rock and a Photographer
This little guy seemed more curious than anything. He alternated between standing up for a photo op and dropping down to lick minerals from the soil.

Great shot Jay, looks like he has a crick in his neck.
Jay Ryser replied
Thanks. He was wearing a little cervical collar, but I made him take it off for the photo . . . (kidding – I’m kidding – please, no angry letters)

This is so cute and funny! He looks like he has gotten caught at doing something and is scared to move!
Jay Ryser replied
He was probably chewing through someone’s brake lines on their car just before I took the photo . . .

Great shot, Jay. It looks like it is going to shimmey around and get out of there.
Jay Ryser replied
He actually hung around for a while – didn’t seem particularly perturbed by being photographed.

LOL. Maybe an orange jumpsuit to complete the look?

Lol- I love your title!
These little guys are one of my favorite animals.
Especially because they live the good lifa at such high elevation and away from alot of the crazziness!
Jay Ryser replied
Oh, they have their own craziness – check out my other recent marmot pic . . .
