21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Hoary Marmot

This was such a spur of the moment picture. I saw this marmot where I have never seen a marmot before. There wasn't very much time to take pictures as we had to continue our trip. We were also in a very dangerous place. I love marmots and usually only see them in the national parks so this was such a great joy to find a marmot.
