Happy Groundhog Day!

It's Groundhog Day, so I'm going to dig up a few photos of marmots, relatives of groundhogs.  I hear that Punxsutawney Phil came out of  his burrow and predicted six more weeks of winter, which would be great for those of us in California and Nevada, since we've only had a few days of winter so far!

This is a yellow-bellied Marmot along the Tioga Pass road in Yosemite National Park.  He's hoping for a handout.  I captured this during a G+/Panoramio Yosemite Photowalk I organized in May 2012.  It was fun to run around and photograph Yosemite with 75-100 other G+ photographers in the park for four days!
