Surveying the Kingdom

This marmot, recently awakened from his winter's sleep, surveys his kingdom before he sets about his very busy day of eating, sunning, and posing for pictures for hikers who hike on the Old Ute Trail. He'll have about 100 days of eating, sunning, and posing before he tucks in his burrow for yet another winter's nap.

Man, what a life.

BTW: the mountain waaaaaaay in the distance is Twin Sisters.
