As a coda to RMNP week, here’s a prairie dog from next door to the Celestial Seasonings tea factory in Boulder.

This snowshoe hare was worth the photo safari alone. I wish I owned the lens this photo was taken with.

Technically, this is in the town of Estes Park, not RMNP. I was just leaving the town when I saw this big group of female elk and young males. They walked all around me as I was taking photos!
