Not exactly in my backyard but up on a ridge behind my house...

This marmot and others were basking, among the flowers, under sunny blue skies last week up on Gold Ridge. They were very happy to pose for me :) :roll:

That's a great shot. Love the colors and the pose. The DOF is perfect for keeping the marmont nice and sharp.

Hi Paul, To the best of my knowledge the marmots we have around here (SE AK) are all hoary marmots. Here's some more info:
