Two Curious Baby Yellow Bellied Marmots

These are two out three baby Marmots and their mother that were curious about me and my camera. I wanted to get the whole family, but they didn't co-operate. Notice the ears, they look so human. That, and the tiny hands and fingers make them so appealing to me.

Feel free to leave any comments or critiques. I'm always open to

constructive comments and suggestions.

A very nicely composed original shot, Linda!

With best regards,

Ruud.

Best regards Linda!

Linda,

  Wonderful capture of these two with great details & lighting.  Thanks for sharing.  Take care, Patsy

An excellent shot Linda! I like the fact the both of them are alertly looking in different directions. Superb detail, and excellent timing. Well done!

All the best,
Neil

Linda...this is a very nice shot.  Well composed, and I think good timing on your part.  

LInda,

I enjoy nature in action. Nice image presentation.

Very good work with your zoom lens.

Best Regards,  Mike

They are so cute, I bet they are a 'hoot'to watch as they play with each other. Nice and clear shot Linda.

Warm regards, Gail

Thank you everyone! I really do appreciate it when people take time to look and comment on my photos.

Gail, you know I have never seen baby Marmots play. They spend most of their time eating, digging holes and lounging in the sun, just like the adults. They always look like they should have sunglasses and cocktails in their hands.

Best wishes.

I've never seen a marmot, but I love watching the chipmunks outside and once battled a hawk when it went after them.  I love their eyes, which look bright and vibrant,and the composition is nice here.  Good job on the textures of the hair and pipe. 

Cute little beggars.  We don't have them here but loved them when we visited Montana many years ago... Mike
