From this morning's commute. I had stopped to get some Bald Eagle shots. I
didn't have time to get my tripod out and put on the longest lens so those
didn't turn out (maybe tomorrow).
This guy though was about 20 feet away from me and ran up the hillside. I
was curious how close I could get so I snapped a shot, took two steps
forward, and snapped again, never removing the camera from my eye. I
repeated that 6 or 7 times. This was the last shot before he scurried off.
I was somewhere between 5 and 8 feet away.
A yellow-bellied marmot.
