You always seem to be around when animals are getting down and funky...maybe your aftershave has got a pheromone thing going on.

Rijaca's got a similar problem but I'll have to post that pic later.

I haven't used aftershave in a little while. My face is almost as harry as the marmot.

Having me around with a camera while he is flirting with goats is one of them.

You shouldn't taunt a goat with a stick in your hand.

Mine is better than that. I'll go to the library tomorrow and post it up.

This post made me sad because it reminded me of the one I missed.
I almost got a picture of two marmots hugging below the north face of Kit Carson.
It definately would have made it into the Marmots of Colorado Calender, which I assume will be published this year.
The marmot said “Nobody is perfect and you are not nobody.”
