Mount Blue Sky in Colorado, it fits perfectly as a Yellow-bellied Marmot, a common high-elevation resident of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Perched on a granite outcrop high on Mount Blue Sky, this marmot pauses in the alpine sunlight, completely at home in one of Colorado’s most rugged environments. Its thick coat protects it from the rapidly changing temperatures of the high country, while the exposed rock provides a perfect lookout over its mountain territory. The close perspective captures something more than wildlife—it shows the personality of the alpine landscape, right down to that unmistakable tooth and curious expression.
