We found this marmot near Logan Pass in Glacier National Park. Curious animals!

Ewe and her kid, not far from Hidden Lake Nature Trail. We followed this pair from here, among the August wildflowers, to (eventually) along a nearby snow field in Glacier National Park.
This is one of my favorite shots. This whitetail deer seemed to pose for me in these wildflowers. Notice the doe watching from the tree line above.
Yep...this is just a common toad I found while walking our farm. There is beauty even here...at least to me.
