This is my best side, if you can, mister

Lovely capture, Rob! The marmot is so cute as he is posing for you in the late afternoon sunlight! I love it! A YS for this one! Cheers, Anne

That's a perfect capture, like he was knowing what to do

Best of

Ciao

Hi Anne, I think that a successful photograph of wildlife is especially rewarding due to the extra level of difficulty, compared to a static landscape. The YS is much appreciated. I guess he was used to humans, but he's giving me the once over before deciding it was safe to ignore me. Sorry if the camera Exif misled you, still on UK time, so it's a morning shot, but the 36mm tells me it was max zoom.

Hi picsonthemove, Yep, cooperative wildlife does make things easier. Thanks for the Best of, my first one.

Your two comments led me to change the title from Marmot. Cheers, Rob

Cool shot Rob, might want to add a comma in the title. lol. Guy.

Hi Guy, Happy to make you laugh. Cheers, Rob

You noticed what it said before then, not that I have a dirty mind or anything, most certainly not! lol

Wow, I love this shot! He is aware of you -- ready to flee but not just yet. Perfect timing. I have never seen a west coast marmot, lucky you!

Hi Nawitka, Thank you for your kind words. Regarding the perfect timing, he has grubbing around for food, so this could have been a pop up security check, probably not the long pose implied by the title. Cheers, Rob

Ah, I love Marmots!

We have enough here in Alps but they are so difficult to get it very close.

Hi Mimi, Indeed I count myself lucky that this marmot did not run off and hide.

Cheers, Rob
